Darren Scott Lehmann (born February 5, 1970 in Gawler, South Australia) is an Australian cricketer, who made his ODI debut in 1996 and Test debut in 1998 for the Australian cricket team. He was on the fringes of national selection for the entirety of the 1990s, and only became a regular in the ODI team in 2001 and Test team in late 2002, before being dropped in early 2005.

Style

Lehmann’s batting technique is quite unconventional; taking guard outside leg stump, and, just before a ball is bowled, he steps back and across toward and sometimes past off stump. This peculiar technique means that if the ball is short in pitch, he needs not to step back any further. Possessing with a great eye, natural gift and substantial power generated by his large frame, Lehmann is noted for his play against spin, and is also a useful left-arm orthodox spinner himself, (as evidenced when he took 6/92 against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 2004). He is relatively accurate, but he has little ability to turn the ball and uses a flat trajectory. He is also a reasonable fielder, but his lack of fitness means that his agility is poor.

Early years

A junior representative for Central District Football Club as well as playing cricket, Lehmann left school at the age of 16, to work on the assembly line of Holden car manufacturers in Elizabeth, South Australia. He declined selection to the first intake of the newly formed Australian Cricket Academy, a full time cricket centre, citing his enjoyment of the factory life. Lehmann entered the first-class scene as a 17 year-old in the 1987/1988 season for South Australia, playing one match against Victoria at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after both Tim May and Peter Sleep were called into the national team. After making 10, Lehmann was omitted upon their return and did not play any further part in the season. In 1988/89, South Australia were at the bottom of the ladder, when coach Barry Richards called Lehmann into the team, playing against Western Australia at the WACA Ground. Lehmann remembered little of the match; after being struck in the right temple by a Bruce Reid bouncer, he was knocked unconscious and temporarily ceased breathing. Lehmann made his mark in the following match against New South Wales Blues at Adelaide Oval, reaching 50, but the innings was marred by the manner in which it was ended. Going for a quick single, Lehmann collided with bowler Geoff Lawson and was run out after falling over. However, Richards and South Australian captain David Hookes claimed that Lawson had tripped Lehmann, leading to a confrontation between the two teams.

In 1989/90, Lehmann came into contention for national selection, after scoring 228 runs at the age of 19 in a match against Victoria in the 1989/1990 season. He also scored a century against the touring New Zealand cricket team and followed that with three consecutive centuries in three Sheffield Shield matches. Having scored over 700 runs in the first half of the season, Lehmann was drafted into the Australian squad for the New Year's Test against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground after both openers David Boon and Geoff Marsh were injured. As Lehmann was not an opener, Mike Veletta and Tom Moody were selected and he was relegated to being 12th man. Lehmann was also called into the squad for the triangular ODI series, but after being unused, he was replaced by Mark Waugh.

The following year, Lehmann was lured to move to Victoria by John Elliott and Ian Collins, then directors of the Carlton Football Club with a lucrative deal for him to play district cricket for Carlton, as well as the Victorian state team. Lehmann believed that he had a better chance of international selection, feeling that selectors disregarded batting performances at Adelaide Oval on the perception that it was a flat track. Lehmann however, was not rewarded with international selection, but he did participate in a Shield victory in 1990/91. Lehmann was fortunate to play in the final, having needed facial surgery prior to the match after being struck in the nose during a training session. Following another season, Lehmann expressed dissatisfaction, and returned to South Australia.

Lehmann continued to be productive from 1992/93 onwards, but aside from selections in the Australia A limited overs team in 1994/95, he was not considered for international duty. In 1995/96 he was a part of the South Australian team which claimed the Sheffield Shield known today as the Pura Cup.

First class cricket

He has had enormous success both for Yorkshire in England and for his home state. He played a crucial role in Yorkshire's first County Championship for 33 years in 2001. In the Roses match against Lancashire he scored a blistering 252. Later in the same season in the National League he hit 191 off just 103 balls at Scarborough - a Yorkshire record for the competition. Lehmann held the record for the most number of first-class cricket appearances and runs for an Australian before his Test debut, until recently surpassed by Michael Hussey. He is now the leading runscorer in Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup history and has a first-class batting average of over 56. Lehmann, in his last match for Yorkshire before retirement, scored 339 runs in the last match of the season to help Yorkshire in their attempt to survive, a figure which was only 2 runs from the highest score by any player for the club (George Hirst getting 341 in 1905 against Leicestershire). It was the second triple hundred of his career and the highest score ever made at Headingley. Lehmann will be missed by the Yorkshire faithful and remembered as a player who was very influential in not only helping them win the county championship more in 2001, but also helped them to promotion back to division one (2005).

Struggle to Make the Australian Side

Darren Lehmann's career performance graph.

Despite all of his talent, he has only had limited opportunities at the international level. His body shape, relative lack of fitness and physical condition, while never dulling his run-scoring capabilities, meant he was never a favorite of the Australian hierarchy, and notably never saw eye to eye with former coach Bob Simpson in the early-mid 1990s. Simpson was regarded as one of the best fielders to have played the game, and was renowned for his heavy emphasis on fielding and fitness, the weakest aspects of Lehmann's game.

With Simpson's retirement at the end of the 1996 Cricket World Cup, Lehmann made his ODI debut later in the year in Sharjah after injuries to other players. He was a sporadic member of the team until the 1997/98 Australian season, when captain Mark Taylor was dropped from the team. Lehmann then became a semi-regular member of the ODI team, and also toured India in early 1998^[1] The 1996 Cricket World Cup was won by Sri Lanka who beat Australia by 7 wickets at the final in Lahore. ...

Lehmann made his Test debut in the 3rd Test against India in March 1998 in Bangalore, after Steve Waugh suffered a hamstring injury. Lehmann scored 52 on debut, as well as claiming Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin while bowling. Selectors were impressed with his performance, and when Waugh returned from injury on the tour of Pakistan later that year, Ricky Ponting was instead dropped. Lehmann scored 98 in the First Test in Rawalpindi, but an injury forced him out of the Second Test in Peshawar in which Taylor scored an Australian record 334* on a flat pitch in a high scoring drawn match. Lehmann failed to performed in the final Test in Karachi, and despite scoring his maiden ODI century, he was dropped for the first two Tests of the 1998/99 Ashes series. Ponting was recalled by the selectors, under the justification of "horses for courses", as he was regarded as a superior player of pace bowling but weaker in spin, with the first two Tests being held on bouncy wickets in Brisbane and Perth. However, failures in the first three Tests by Ponting saw Lehmann recalled to the Test team in the final two Tests in Melbourne and Sydney. Further failures by Lehmann in the final two Tests saw him dropped from the Test team to tour the West Indies in early 1999, who had a pure pace attack.

Lehmann however, retained his position in the ODI team, and scored another century in during the West Indies tour. He went onto the World Cup, where he played in every match bar one where he was injured, and hit the winning runs in the 1999 Cricket World Cup. However, upon his return to Australia, he was dropped from the ODI team in favour of Damien Martyn, who was the reserve batsman. Lehmann spent the 1999/2000 international season out of the team, and was not given an opportunity again until the 2000/01 season. During the 2000/01 season, Australia was in dominant form, winning all five Tests it contested. Captain Steve Waugh took the opportunity to introduce a rotation system for the ODI series, and Lehmann was allowed regular matches as all members of the team were periodically rested. Despite topping the averages and Steve Waugh having the lowest among the batsmen during the round robin stages of the triangular tournament, Lehmann was dropped for the finals series, as he was the least senior batsman in the team. Lehmann's did not receive further chances in the Test format either, as Matthew Hayden, Damien Martyn and Simon Katich were all recalled in 2000 and 2001 when other players were dropped. Following Hayden's heavy scoring in the 2001 Border Gavaskar Trophy in India, he was afforded a place in the ODI squad, and Lehmann was removed altogether from the squad during the 2001/02 season. Australia however faltered during the campaign, and Lehmann was recalled for the final match of the series, in which he top scored. After Australia failed to qualify for the finals, batsmen Mark and Steve Waugh were dropped from the ODI team, and Lehmann's ODI position became permanent.

Later in 2002, Mark Waugh was dropped from the Test team, and Lehmann was recalled for the first time in almost four years. After playing three Tests without posting a large score, Lehmann was injured, and Martin Love replaced him. Lehmann came under more pressure upon his return, when during an ODI against Sri Lanka, he had an error of judgment and was run out. Upon returning to the dressing room, his frustration boiled over and he made a racial comment which saw him banned for 5 ODI matches, becoming the first player banned for racial vilification.^[2] After missing the first part of the 2003 Cricket World Cup, Lehmann went on to take the winning catch in the final against India in Johannesburg. Lehmann's Test spot was spared, Martyn was forced out due to a finger injury, with Love and Lehmann playing in the middle order on the subsequent tour of the West Indies. Lehmann then posted his maiden Test century on the tour, and on the Winter Test series against Bangladesh in northern Australia, Lehmann scored consecutive centuries to solidify his position in the team. His Test career was again put on hold, when he was injured in November against Zimbabwe, allowing Katich to play in his place and score a century and top score in both innings in the Fourth Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground to stake a claim for Lehmann's spot. However, Steve Waugh retired after the series, and both players were included on the tour to Sri Lanka. There, Lehmann scored consecutive centuries on turning tracks against Muttiah Muralitharan to help Australia to a 3-0 clean sweep despite conceding a first innings lead in each of the matches.

Lehmann's position was again called into question on the 2004 tour to India when Michael Clarke had an opportunity to debut in Bangalore on the 2004 India tour, when Ricky Ponting broke his thumb, and Clarke scored 151 in his first innings in Test matches. Thus on the return of Ponting, the Australian selectors were obliged to select Clarke, meaning that they would have to drop Lehmann or Katich. Lehmann publicly offered to be dropped following a run of poor form, but the Australian selectors did not take the offer, and the less talented but younger Katich was instead dropped. Lehmann stayed on briefly, but after two ungainly dismissals to Pakistani paceman Shoaib Akhtar in the first Two Tests of the 2004/05 series, in which Lehmann was out of position after wandering across the crease, he was dropped in favour of Shane Watson for the Sydney Test. Another maligned shot selection in the following ODI series, attempting to reverse sweep Shahid Afridi first ball, resulted in his dismissal from the ODI team, with Katich was again promoted. Lehmann was unable to reclaim a spot as Australia headed towards the 2005 Ashes series looking for batsmen to combat an England team fielding four pace bowlers, including three at the high speed of 90 mph, and he has since been left off Cricket Australia's contracted players list.

Controversies, Problems and Miscellaneous

In January 2004, he found his life and focus on cricket affected after his mentor, David Hookes, was struck by a hotel bouncer in front of Lehmann, and died after going into cardiac arrest. Lehmann had to testify later that year. In December 2004, he was labelled a 'snail' after losing a 100m sprint to New Zealand's slowest cricketer, Mark Richardson in his home capital of Adelaide. He has also released a book, Worth the Wait. Lehmann is also famous for making racist comments towards Sri Lankan and West Indian players onfield, calling them "black monkeys", "black coolies", "niggers", "wogs", "black shit" and "black apes".
