MELBOURNE: Australia cricket coach Darren Lehmann has defended wicket-keeper Brad Haddin and the team’s vocal aggression during their World Cup final win over New Zealand.

“He’s copped a bit (of criticism), hasn’t he?” Lehmann told Adelaide radio station 5AA.

“We like to play our game, no one got reported out of the game, so we must have played it fair.

“It was a little bit disappointing, but people are entitled to their opinions and you’re going to have good and bad times.

“You accept that and you move on.

“We’re happy with the way we played, obviously. We knew we wanted to be really aggressive against them. And look, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.”
