Cricket Australia sent a letter of complaint to their South African counterparts on Friday over what coach Darren Lehmann called “disgraceful” verbal abuse aimed at his players by the crowd in the third test at Newlands. “I think it’s been disgraceful, you are talking about abuse of players and their families, it’s not on anywhere in the world,” Lehmann told reporters after the second day’s play. “They (the crowd) have got to be better than that when they come to international events, it’s just disgraceful,” Lehmann added. “Not on this level, we cannot accept it anywhere in the world, talking about players and their families. Australia are 245 for nine in their first innings, 66 runs behind South Africa’s total of 311.
