"You are talking about abuse of various players and their families and personal abuse," mentioned Lehmann.

"It's not on at a cricket game -- not just here, it shouldn't happen. You can have banter, that's good fun, but it's gone too far here."

The important goal was once Australian batsmen David Warner, who was once approached by a spectator in the contributors' stand after he was once disregarded, causing Warner to stop and turn as he climbed the stairs to the dressing room.




The pair looked as if it would change heated words with unconfirmed stories pronouncing the spectator was once evicted from the ground.

Lehmann mentioned Warner was once not the one Australian participant to stand non-public abuse.

He mentioned the extent of abuse was once the worst they'd encountered anywhere on this planet.

"There have been various incidents throughout the Test series but this one has taken the cake," he mentioned. "We have lodged an official complaint with South African cricket and we will see what happens."


Lehmann said that Australian crowds had also been in charge of dangerous behaviour, significantly in insulting South African batsman Hashim Amla on a previous excursion.


"That's not good enough from an Australian crowd point of view either. We've just got to better at watching the game of cricket, supporting both teams."


There was once no rapid reaction from Cricket South Africa.


Tensions in a hard-fought series were specifically prime since leaked closed circuit tv digital camera footage emerged of an altercation between Warner and South Africa's Quinton de Kock on the stairs to the dressing room all through the first Test in Durban.
