Paine's a punchable young man, isn't he?

Clearly not out and why the eff didn't the ump have a look in the first place?

I don't think it's very surprising that a coach can't go to the media and basically label an opposition player a cheater

(even if samuels is a cheater. as pews has talked about before)
That's being dramatic

Don't be such a drama queen

Good grief, somebody could say that somebody chucks

Thought it was questionable whether he had some part of his foot behind the line tbh. Punter deserved a hat trick, kid was prepared to walk of too. He'll learn surely

Not somebody. A coach. If a person from the media had said it, and then be fined or banned from attending games or reporting games or whatever, be outraged. But a coach not being allowed to enter into discussing this sort of stuff to the media is not surprising in the least, it's frankly common sense. Something that Lehmann doesn't have. Take it to CA, not FoxSports.

oh so Moran is injured. that makes sense.

What did Lehmann say?
covered in here:

Cookies must be enabled. | The Australian

Cricket Australia (CA) charged Lehmann with breaching the code of behaviour, specifically regarding detrimental public comment.

The code states a player or official must not "denigrate or criticise another player ... by inappropriately commenting on any aspect of his or her performance, abilities or characteristics".
basically, it's a rule in place to ensure players and coaches don't create headlines by behaving like a dick in a public forum. eg common sense.
