But despite the very real risk he could be slapped with a ban if he unleashes on an opponent during the World Cup, Lehmann won&rsquo;t tell the fiery opener to change his ways.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll let them go play the game as they normally would,&rdquo; Lehmann was quoted as saying by news.com.au.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;Nice, aggressive, fair and making sure they&rsquo;re not crossing the line.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">When opening batsman Warner has transgressed in the past, Lehmann has trotted out a similar line. The coach said if anyone &ldquo;crosses the line&rdquo; then the officials will deal with it, and that&rsquo;s the end of that.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Lehmann&rsquo;s stance comes a day after New Zealand umpire Billy Bowden, who will officiate in matches at the World Cup, said there was nothing wrong with a bit of sledging as long as it was done in the right way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t want to clone them all into little choir boys. A lot of it is a lot of fun and a lot of banter,&rdquo; Bowden said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;There&rsquo;s all types of personalities out there. As long as it&rsquo;s not aggressive or personal - there&rsquo;s zero tolerance with that. Discipline, that&rsquo;s where it counts - respecting the game, their opponents and umpires.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
