Well, you said it...Yeah, lemme guess... Hayden > Lehmann?

He has a list. That's right - a list.Mate i too respect you for remembering names of every poster (even dire rookie posters like me) on this forum
What other use could it have?Not for my benefit, though.
I'll respect him regardless of a slip of the tongue or whatever it was he said in the heat of the moment (am I right in saying it was to no one in particular?).TBH, think Sameer (^^^) has hit the nail on the head - it's difficult to respect Lehmann personally after the racistgate instance of 2002\03. Thing is, hardly anyone would do that anyway, because none of us know him. I respect him hugely as a batsman (and to a lesser extent bowler and captain), and that's it.
Not in Test cricket. Not by a long way.Better batsman than the Langers, Martyns, etc. in his sleep.
It was far more than a slip of the tongue, though, I don't see how anyone could deny that and not be burying their head in the sand.I'll respect him regardless of a slip of the tongue or whatever it was he said in the heat of the moment (am I right in saying it was to no one in particular?).
Yeah exactly Richard.Unfortunately not, because they got far more opportunity than them.
Had the three played equal numbers of games at each level, Lehmann would almost certainly have vastly outperformed them at Test as he did at domestic (in both England and Australia) level.
More to the point, how could such a thing be of any use to me when I know what's in it without having to look?What other use could it have?
So why do you keep it then?More to the point, how could such a thing be of any use to me when I know what's in it without having to look?

Was just about to ask the same thing. AFAIK nobody else has ever asked for it, or needed to posess such a dossier.So why do you keep it then?
I've no doubt he was one of the finest First Class batsmen in recent times, and I wasn't trying to deny that. Michael Bevan and Ajay Sharma are probably the only two who can rival him in terms of batsmen who had limited or no opportunities at Test level, atleast in the last few years.Yeah exactly Richard.
Perm your comment was such a captain obvious one...
Lehmann was a brilliant first class batsmen one of the best first class cricketers of the last 20 years.
They did, and they deserved such lengthy and illustrious careers.Unfortunately not, because they got far more opportunity than them.

Cronulla, I reckon...Haha oh man. You live in regular society or what?
