Cricket Warne backs Lehmann as coach
Australia great Shane Warne believes Darren Lehmann would be the perfect coach for Australia.
SYDNEY:
Australia great Shane Warne believes Darren Lehmann would be the perfect coach for Australia as the search continues for Tim Nielsen’s replacement. Lehmann is in his first year as Queensland’s mentor. “Lehmann is absolutely outstanding — as a coach or in some senior role involved in the team or even as a selector,” said Warne. “He’s got a good understanding of youngsters. There’s old-school ‘70s and ‘80s – sit down and don’t say a word and let the experienced people talk – to the new way where you play one game and you think you’ve played a hundred. Somewhere in the middle is about the right way.”
