Australia’s Brad Haddin says the touring team feel safe in New Zealand and have no complaints with the hostile Kiwi fans who hurled insults at Mitchell Johnson during Saturday’s second one-day international.

The Australians can expect more of the same for game three of the five-match series in Hamilton on Tuesday.

New Zealand coach Mark Greatbatch is tipping the crowd at Hamilton’s Seddon Park will get “quite rowdy”.

Johnson, who was fined 60 per cent of his match fee after a physical clash with Kiwi batsman Scott Styris in Wednesday’s first ODI in Napier, was under attack from the fans at Auckland’s Eden Park three days later.

With public feeling running high that Johnson was lucky to avoid a suspension, the Australian scored 16 not out and was flanked by two security guards as he walked off Eden Park.

Taunted by the crowd as a “wanker”, Johnson later became one of the heroes of Australia’s 12-run win, taking 4-51.

Australia captain Ricky Ponting and Greatbatch both felt Johnson was boosted by the strong barracking from the crowd, but Haddin said it had no impact.

“It has zero effect,” wicketkeeper/batsman Haddin told reporters on Sunday.

“Everywhere you go in the world the crowds are interacting with the players. When New Zealand come to Australia it’s no different for their players.

“I don’t think the crowd had anything to do with Mitchell’s performance.

“It’s good the crowd get involved and they show they’re enjoying the show we’re putting on.

“From a personal point of view, what they say and what they do, it doesn’t really affect anyone.

“We’ve felt safe and we always have. We enjoy coming to New Zealand.

“It’s a good place to tour. It’s all in good humour,” added Haddin, who scored a brilliant 53 opening the batting at Eden Park.

“Mitchell is a class performer and we needed him to win this game.

“He was the ICC player of the year so these big matches are the ones he thrives on.

“He came out and did the job that he normally does.”

Asked if he had any advice for sledgers in the Hamilton crowd, Haddin said: “Good luck.”

Haddin, who was fined alongside Johnson for a clash with West Indies slow bowler Sulieman Benn in the Perth Test in December, was peace-maker on Wednesday as he separated Johnson and Styris.

Greatbatch, who clashed with ex-Australian fast bowler and current national selector Merv Hughes during the pair’s playing days, says the Kiwis have nothing but admiration for Johnson.

“The last time I played (against Australia), Merv Hughes spat on me,” Greatbatch said with a laugh.

“But we had a beer at the end of the day.

“It’s competitive, it’s great. It’s Australia-New Zealand.

“It was pretty controlled last night (in Auckland). It was good aggression and it was good cricket.”

Greatbatch said fans loved seeing on-field aggression.

“It’s gamesmanship. We’re in the entertainment business and people pay money to come and watch,” he said.

“We don’t think any worse of Johnson. I think he was inspired by it last night.

“He’s a great cricketer and a good competitor and we’re looking forward to going up against him on Tuesday.”
