Just to say that Australia have beaten South Africa in the deciding 3rd test in Cape Town by 245 runs winning the series 2-1 and ending South Africa's 5 year unbeaten record.....Graham Smith the SA captain retires with arguably one of the best winning ratios ever. It doesn't ease the pain of the Ashes whitewash during the winter but it does show that Australia are now beginning to be a very useful test playing nation again.....
Under Lehmann they've turned it around. They always had a naggingly accurate attack but Johnson has given them the killer factor especially against the tail. Their confidence is up and they'll be a hard nut to crack if they keep their bowlers fit...
Yes, agreed, Lehmann won't suffer fools nor will he adapt the stupid coaching ways of the one before him by giving the players 'homework' etc. It never ceases to amaze me that some coaches try to re-invent the wheel, rather than keeping it straight-forward. Lehmann is your typical 'pie and sauce' type of guy. What you see is what you get. There are many a car bumper sticker saying, here in Oz ............. none more simple, yet meaningful than .................... Love our country or F... Off ! We tend to keep it simple.
