News about Darren Lehmann

Following his pulsating innings against the Adelaide Strikers on Monday, Josh Brown (pictured left)'s life is likely to change drastically for him. In an innings that featured 12 sixes to guide his team to the final, Brown, 30, who makes cricket bats for a living, plundered an incredible 140 from just 57 balls (right).

Marnus Labuschagne (pictured right) of Australia is well-known for his attention to detail, and the self-confessed cricketer nerd was out on it again (pictured left) ahead of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval. The 29-year-old has ensured that his bat was of the correct weight, and the way in which he did so would surprise many cricket enthusiasts.

The World Test Championship final against India will begin next month for Pat Cummins' side's only sign of preparation for the five-match series, although some players have participated in County Championship cricket. Cricket Australia's decision not to play any tour matches before the series has been scrutinized, with former coach Lehmann fearing that his country would be embarrassed if they missed the call.

Former Australian cricket coach Darren Lehmann has a radical solution that may fix David Warner ahead of The Ashes, while former skipper Ricky Ponting thinks the opener missed a golden opportunity for a fairytale retirement

Despite enjoying a glorious summer of Test cricket back home, the head was disqualified for the opening match in Nagpur last week, with selectors unconvinced by his international reputation. Nevertheless, that decision was not justified as the tourists suffled over three days, with India cruising to a victory by an innings and 132 runs. Lehmann was the last coach to win a Test in India for Australia during the 2017 tour and was left reeling by Head's decision to withdraw considering that other actors in the subcontinent have a similar track record.

Marnus Labuschagne, the world's best-ranked Test batter, has shared a snapshot of the suitcase he packed for India's forthcoming tour - and it's chock-full of coffee. Labuschagne, who has often said he is as obsessed with coffee as he is with cricket, has shared a snapshot of his luggage with his 166,000 followers, asking them to guess how many bags of coffee he is carrying on tour. Labuschagne has been named the 'head barista' of Australia's cricket team in recent years, and he loves the process and art of making coffee as well as drinking it.

Although the backlash surrounding David Warner's leadership ban shows no signs of ending, Pat Cummins insists that the team's 'complete support' continues. Cricket Australia (CA) suspended the former Test vice-captain from office for four years because of his role in the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal. Last month, CA passed an extension to its code of conduct, which was supposed to encourage Warner to request a review of the fine. Both were informed by an independent commission of code-of-conduct commissioners on Wednesday that they were retaining firm on the matter.

Pat Cummins (left with partner Becky Boston) as so worried about Alinta Energy's parent company, Pioneer Sail Holdings, being one of the country's top carbon emitters that he expressed his 'ethical worries' with Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley, resulting in a $40 million sponsorship agreement between the government and the electricity giant being torn up. The Australian Test and ODI captain's own carbon footprint is now in focus, as shown by his ability to fly first class (top right) and drive a petrol-guzzling Range Rover (bottom right). Alinta received a dismal 2nd out of 5 stars in this year's Green Electricity Guide, due to their plan to burn coal to 2047, the local environmental impact, and their position as Australia's seventh largest polluter. Ben Fordham of the United Kingdom and One Nation's Mark Latham, who said Cummins should be concerned about bowling, sparked criticism from GB's Ben Fordham and One Nation's Mark Latham. Fordham told listeners, 'The suggestion that the national captain is personally lobbying for his boss to cancel a $40 million sponsorship contract is completely bizarre.'

Following Shane Warne and Andrew Symonds' deaths this year, a number of Australia's best ever cricketers met up for an emotional reunion last weekend (both pictured inset). The event was hosted by Ricky Ponting, with Justin Langer, Matt Hayden, Brett Lee, Shane Watson, and Adam Gilchrist (pictured front) attending.
