If a coach makes a difference, Oz's chances in the Ashes have just risen.

One notorious redmist incident notwithstanding, Lehman is a bright guy with a sense of what makes a team - good mixture of strategy, support and line-drawing.

Maybe Boof could come in as Captain/coach.

His left armers would be handy

by horace Tue 25 Jun 2013, 00:46

at least he could turn the ball unlike Lyon

by lardbucket Tue 25 Jun 2013, 00:48

He may be exactly what Lyon needs. Give it a rip and some intent!

by horace Tue 25 Jun 2013, 00:51

oh please.....Lyon made a half arsed curator.;..given he trained under the Burdett empah

He can't hurt but I think what Lyon needs most is some runs to bowl at

by lardbucket Tue 25 Jun 2013, 00:54

Well, there is that.

by horace Tue 25 Jun 2013, 00:56

there will be no runs...

how depressing ... must you open your bag all over this thread?

by lardbucket Tue 25 Jun 2013, 01:00

Get Midge into the nets now, bowling short at Hughes' body, off 15 yards so he can't get too far off line.

"The Champs Trophy was a real disappointment for me because I think we were 20 minutes away from something special. I'm pretty convinced we would have gotten over the line against New Zealand and we would have chased 250 down comfortably against Sri Lanka and we wouldn't be having this conversation now."

must say Sutherland's performance at the presser was most unconvincing

by JGK Tue 25 Jun 2013, 05:27

Sutherland was quite good on the wireless this morning I thought.

Then again, I was lying in bed with 2 young kids jumping on me so maybe I heard him wrong.

by horace Tue 25 Jun 2013, 05:36

he looked shifty and sounded uncertain but blustery

by skully Tue 25 Jun 2013, 09:32

Poor Mickey Arthur can't catch a break. RIP to his Mum, who passed away in South Africa today. The former Aus coach is on his way to South Africa as we speak.

by lardbucket Tue 25 Jun 2013, 09:40

Ouch.

by Brass Monkey Tue 25 Jun 2013, 09:40

Oh dear - that's terrible news - you wonder if the sacking finished her off.
