NOTTHINGHAM, England: Australia coach Darren Lehmann got more than he bargained for when he posted a tweet asking for help in getting tickets to watch an English Premier League football match.
England’s innings and 78-run win over Australia in the fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge, which gave them an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, was completed before lunch on Saturday’s third day of a scheduled five.
Lehmann decided he wanted to use the ‘free’ Sunday to take in a match between Stoke City and Liverpool on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.
“Would like to go to Stoke v Liverpool with a couple of people anyone help? @stokecity or @LFC can you please retweet,” he wrote on Twitter.
But, almost inevitably, Lehmann’s request in helping source tickets for the match at the Britannia Stadium was met by suggestions his time would be better spent reviewing Australia’s latest loss, rather than watching football.
Twitter user Anthony Dutton responded by posting: “Aren’t you playing tomorrow (Sunday)...oooops sorry.”
