<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Hazlewood pleaded guilty in a hearing with match referee Chris Broad, with the International Cricket Council expected to release details of the punishment soon.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">First-time offenders often get away with a reprimand but that's unlikely to be the case given the nature of Hazlewood's misdeed.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Stump microphones picked up the spearhead swearing after a controversial verdict from third umpire Richard Illingworth in Christchurch.</p>

<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Australia reviewed an lbw shout from Hazlewood in the final over of Tuesday's morning session, with Illingworth deciding Kane Williamson edged the ball before it hit his pads.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Hazlewood and skipper Steve Smith both rushed up to controlling umpire Ranmore Martinesz to query the process and the verdict.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"What!? It hit his foot ... who the f*** is third umpire!?," Hazlewood said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Smith angrily confronted Martinesz, uttered some terse words then turned on his heel and shook his head in disgust.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">It appears Smith has avoided sanction.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Hazlewood remained furious, giving NZ allrounder Corey Anderson a spray at the end of the session.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"I didn't actually hear anything. I got told that he was saying something to me. I'm actually deaf in my left ear," Anderson said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"He could have been on my wrong side. Whether he said something or not I'm not too concerned."</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Both on-field umpires had a word with Hazlewood at the time.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Written notes were taken by the officials as substitute fielder Glenn Maxwell helped drag Hazlewood off the field.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"He was frustrated that he didn't get the rewards for bowling well," Jackson Bird said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"Test cricket is a hard game and sometimes tempers can boil over and people can get frustrated.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"It was probably the frustration of the whole (wicket-less) session.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"I don't think anyone's stepped over the line but if they did, the ICC will I suppose take that out of our hands."</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Anderson had no complaints about Australia's conduct during the unsavoury episode.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"You hear bits and pieces, everyone was unsure of what was going on," he said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"If we can start frustrating the other side, then that's obviously ticking the box for us, and a win."</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Former New Zealand players Ian Smith and Mark Richardson, both in the commentary box during the incident, were highly critical of Smith and Hazlewood.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"I'm sorry but that's intolerable," Richardson said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">ICC boss David Richardson vowed last year there would be a "crackdown" on player behaviour.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"The behaviour in some matches by some players was deemed to be unacceptable and not a good example to young fans," Richardson said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">"For a first offence, you'll likely end up with a fine."</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Hazlewood was mocked by the crowd at Hagley Oval after lunch on Tuesday, with NZ fans screaming at him to "watch that language".</p>

<p>Problem is, he directed it at an official, not just swearing at himself.</p> -
<p>Aussie Tourette's tanties aside, what a fucking disappointing day. Was lovely to see Kane back amongst the runs, but we've had WAAAAY too many failures in the top order. Guptill 18 & 0. Latham 4 & 39. Nicholls 7 & 2. Not good enough, especially when Wagner is the only one firing with the ball.</p>

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">However, the Australians were unhappy at the fact that Hazlewood's comment - "who the f*** is the third umpire?" - was broadcast. Stump microphones are not supposed to remain live when players and umpires are conversing.</span></blockquote>
<p>
Yeah, that's it, focus on the stump mic being off/on. Swearing at an official who has made the right decision is clearly a secondary issue. Fluffybunnies. </p> -

All is right in the cricket world. We get to celebrate a crushing series win, and you guys get to call our players fluffybunnys.<br><br>
This is the natural order of things.</p></blockquote>

Annoyingly accurate... You've got the cricket, we've got the rugby, when no doubt you'll call us cheaters after being done... -

<p>......and your country is a desert full of racist rednecks and your beer is shit too.</p> -
<p>Bit disappointed with Hazelwood today, I know he pissed at 3rd umpire, but gotta be a bit careful. And I kind of like him didn't think he would be the one to have a go at 3rd umpire.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway I will say what I have said so many times now, are the Aussies still saying the Indians are crazy because they won't use 3rd umpires?? Apparently they take out wrong decisions, so.....</p> -

<p>Scots, Aussies, good beer. How are these related in any way at all?</p> -

<p>But I doubt they talk about it much around the Tooheys taps in RSL clubs these days... time moves on.</p>
