The Darren Lehmann Appreciation Thread

Bevan's top score in his last 12 Test innings was 24.. How was he badly treated?

Have a look at what he has done in 1st class cricket after that

Certainly deserved another go imo, just like hayden was given another go after scoring big in domestic cricket.

Boof gone for 182. Added 80 this morning off 56 balls. The legend grows!

He's closing in on Bevan's record for most runs in a first-class season, which Bevo took off Elliott who set the mark the previous year. Wonder if it will be broken 3 years in a row...

Definitely agree on your summation of Boof there Tommy. A true Aussie legend... will be afforded the same cult status as Boonie enjoys now, if he hasn't reached there already.

Yup, an overweight guy who smokes, drinks and makes racist remarks is DEFINITELY a true Aussie Legend, surely it would be Unaustralian any other way wouldn't it?

:lol:

OK, remove the racist remark... that was definitely a very poor judgement of his character. Everything else I'm sweet with. :lol:

Well the Boof has just led SA to another victory. He added another run-a-ball half century in SA's 2nd innings to his first innings 182. And if that isnt enough, he then took 3 wickets in Tassie's 2nd dig with his beautifully flighted boofra's.

Is there anything this man cant do?! He can f@cking walk on water! Although some people would argue that he can only float on water...its a buoyancy thing.

SA now equal top with NSW i believe. My prediction of them winning the Pura Cup is looking good. Just a shame they lost Cullen for a month to injury, although they do have Tait back.

Ah, the Boofra's :lol:. Little ticking time bombs floating down the pitch looking for they're next victim.

 

[Twizzle]

he's a gun all right Tommy, but NSW currently have 7 players in the Australian team, no way will SA knock them off

I believe that Australia will be playing test matches in RSA when the finals are on, but Clark, Clarke, Hadden and Katich should be available. Lee, McGrath, Bracken and McGilla will probably be in RSA.

Lehmo is a legend! As others have said, great cricketer, and seems like an awesome bloke. Agree he should have the cult status of Boonie (who we see all the time, he only lives around the corner!) ;-)
