An immensely talented player, the bulky Darren Lehmann is a free-hitting left-handed batsman, and a left-arm orthodox spin bowler. With an amazing mix of fitness and force, he entertains the crowd with his batting. Making his Test debut in1998, and after maybe ceasing the few Test opportunities he got, he altered the trend of youth winning out by launching himself in the Australian side at age 33 with a maiden century at Port-of-Spain in his tenth Test, and then two against both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the next 1 year. He was made the stand-in vice-captain for the 2004 India tour, but gave it up and crashed out of the series after the third Test with a hamstring injury. He returned for the home summer but was dropped after being unsuccessful against Pakistan. Lehmann was far more successful in the shorter version of the game and remained a crucial member of Australia's successful one-day team that celebrated its dominance in the late 90s. He had the privilege of hitting the winning runs of the 1999 World Cup final, and also found place in the team that defended the title four years later. He is compared to the likes of Michael Bevan for his ability to accelerate the scoring graph. Cricketscorelive.com provides the profile of Darren Lehmann and other cricketers around the world.
