With Smiles And Runs, David Warner And Steve Smith Silence Lord’s Boos

David Warner was booed in his innings of 53 of 61 balls, and there was minimal applause for his six limits. Even when he reached his half century, boos echoed in Lord's house,
David Warner and Steve Smith were attacked by the English crowd, even if they piled up at the Australian races against England in the Lord of London in their World Cup match on Tuesday. The hostile reception that the crowd gave to the two batters even made several cricket players and fans express their displeasure with the Lord's crowd.
Sunil Gavaskar, who was in the air when Warner reached his half-century, said: "The crowd must be understood that nothing is due to the boos of Warner and Smith, an error has been made, mistakes can happen to anyone." It happens and it's time to move on. "
The Australians who asked fans of the Cricket World Cup who stopped booing David Warner and Steve Smith were "a bit strange," as their former coach, Darren Lehmann, had once told his supporters to boo Stuart Broad of England, said host batsman Jonny Bairstow.
Smith and Warner returned to Australia's one-day international organization before the World Cup after meeting to 12-month ban for their roles in a South African game scandal last year and the two have faced Hostile crowd since then.
India captain Virat Kohli came out in defense of Smith when he was booed by a support section of India during the World Cup match earlier this month.
"I read that Justin Langer, the Australia coach, and Virat Kohli have asked the supporters that they have not touched Steve Smith and Warner, I'm not sure about that mark of difference," wrote England's Bairstow hitter in a column for The Telegraph.
Bairstow, Warner in the Indian Premier League, said that his opening partner in the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise was an "incredible cricketer", but that he was hypocritical, that he cannot be booed.
"There is also a fine line." Darren Lehmann, the best coach of Australia, Darren Lehmann.
"I'm sure it was not malicious, but for Australians saying "no booing these guys" is interesting, it has to work both ways, it cannot be all in one way.
"I'm not saying that the sea is right or wrong but having the mentality that we can do it with you but cannot do it with us "is a bit strange.
During the Ashes of 2013 in England, Lehmann had been accused of Broad of "cheating" when he refused to walk after throwing a ball to slide.
"From my point of view, I just hope that the Australian public will shine from the beginning throughout the summer and I hope that I will cry and go home," Lehmann said.
The boos returned when Steve Smith reached the bat at number 4, but the wind disappeared from the sails in that section of the crowd. With the riffs of 'Smoke on the Water' playing in the background, Smith took the guard and the crowd was buzzing again. Smith, almost as if he had not seen anything, ducked his head with a decided decision to play the rest of the Australian tickets.
