Darren Lehmann, the Australian coach has come under fire on social media for a tweet about English football match.
Lehmann was looking for tickets to watch Liverpool v Stoke City match which will take place on Sunday. He was looking for ticket right after the Australia’s shocking defeat at the hand of England at Trent Bridge.
‘Would like to go to Stoke v Liverpool with a couple of people anyone help? @stokecity or @LFC can you please retweet,’ the cricket coach tweeted.
He did not get any help from online community, instead the barrage of abuse rubbed salt on his wound. The twitterati urged him to foucous on his own sport before anyting else.
‘Probably not the best timing to be sending out a Tweet like that, maybe take the team with you to learn their defensive game’, Brett McGrath suggested.

Lehmann was quick to hit back at all insulting tweets.
‘Thanks so much for the abuse was asking a question that people might help . Don’t bother now! Thanks again people for being so abusive,’ he wrote in followe up tweet.

However, the cricket coach did have some support as well. Australia opaner David Warner wife had posted a supporttive tweet, asking ‘why are people so unkind?!’.
@CandyFalzon @darren_lehmann Praps they’re envious of Aussie Cricketers who get paid BIG $s 4 no return.
