Former Australia cricketer Darren Lehmann criticised England for repeatedly bringing up the 'Sandpapergate' incident involving Steve Smith during the Ashes 2025-26. "The abuse you get is daily. It is unbelievable...It is like [England] have never done anything wrong in their life," he said. Lehmann added, "It is only the ones that drink too much and carry on like pork chops."
