Lehmann reflects on racial outburst - My take

Cricinfo article

Australia's coach Darren Lehmann has called his racial outburst against Sri Lanka in 2003 "the biggest mistake" of his life, and also offered an insight into how he manages the diverse personalities and egos present within the national team, from Mitchell Johnson to David Warner.




My response to that in cricinfo

No one is perfect in the world.Everyone will make mistake in different circumstances.But the good thing is to admit those mistake and confess in public and to teach youngsters by giving that as an example is something we should appreciate for a celebrity like Lehmann.And as a coach it is more important to understand the nature/character of players and act accordingly.that is where Arthur failed and Lehmann won.You need to back your players and always has to motivate them to believe in their abilities.Under Lehmann Aus team is improving like anything.Johnson's return to form, Maxwell magic, Bailey's form in India- all these were positive sign for Aus cricket.Now look at IPL, the players successful in the first 2 weeks are Ausees.Look at Maxwell, Starc,Johnson, Richardson and now Chirs Lynn.I am sure in the coming days Warner,Finch,Watson,Bailey also will step up and play well.So all is good for Aus cricket.Forget about that world 20 in Bangladesh.that may happen with any team.Goodspeed
