Kiwi fruit and apples

Brett Lee's destructive bowling wasn't appreciated by a partisan New Zealand crowd - who are fairly famous for their behavior, especially towards the Australian cricket team.

Lee was pummeled with fruit - chiefly, apples - and he's understandably peeved:

"I am a pretty big fan of fruit but not past the old head," Lee said. "You don't really appreciate 10 or so pieces of fruit being thrown at your head.

"I don't mind being sledged or anything. A bit of fun with the crowd is part of it, it happens in every stadium, it happens in Australia. Apples being thrown at your head is something we don't want to happen in cricket."
