Darren Lehmann ton vs NSW, Nth Sydney 1994, one of his very best, really slams the ball in this knock, his first domestic one day ton.

Couldn't agree more.

Gee I dont wanna make the quick reply button jealous, i hear he's a nasty piece of work if you get on his bad side.

Bloody you tube is so frustrating, had 20 videos upload today but failed to process properly after 7 hours of waiting, ends up coming out as a blank screen with no explanation.

Awesome bowling indeed. That guy could make stumps fly like no-one else could. Tbf the singer is noorie who has churned up some excellent music over the years. However this is one of his ****iest songs. Has the Lara yorker at 2:30. And who is the English batsman at 2:55 who gets his toes crushed. Absolute crack jacker of a yorker. And in the video Waqar talks about Imran mentoring him. Man there have been few talent nurturers like Imran. And check out the in-swinging full toss at 5:25. Awesome. And the last wicket from the NatGeo documentary on reverse swing is amazing. Just look at the stump flying out of the ground. Absolutely unbelievable. It flies out of the ground at a lot of speed.

Thanks for sharing this really nice video. In fact I remember Ravi Shastri spotting Waqar in the the stadium in some match after Waqar had retired and he said "One of the greatest sights in world cricket Waqar Younis running in to bowl."........Indeed that was the case.

It's not. You'd be making a lot of Indians very happy if you upload that one.

Geez Rob, you got me loading several vids all at once so I can watch them sequentially!

Just like xhamster.

The Lehmann vids show what a different player he was when he finally played Tests too. Early days, was a glorious shot-maker, not the shuffling nick-and-nudge merchant he became.

 

[robelinda]

Oh yeah no doubt Lehmann was screwed by the selectors, they didnt like his weight early on, and he just didnt care. When the time finally came for him to debut properly he was in direct competition with Ponting and he lost that battle. In his book he says he wanted to play like Hooksey but just like Hooksey the selectors didnt want a guy who could get a hundred in 60 balls. His strokeplay is there for all to see, you never saw half those shots past 1998. That NSW ton is pretty much how he played. I have his 255 vs QLD too ready to upload, man he was just a destroyer. If he was rightly picked in the early 90's when he should have been he couldve been awesome. He made the move to Victoria to improve his chances, wrong state Darren!!!!! One match for NSW and he wouldve been made captain of Australia. Ridiculous that he was 12th man in 1989 yet made to wait until 1998 to play his first test. Still he looked good throughout his test career until his last few tests vs Pakistan, but was never the murderous player he was in the mid 90's.

 

[Top_Cat]

Yeah, shows exactly what us SA fans were going on about when blokes like Martyn and co were picked instead and what he had to do to get picked i.e. shelve some shots and show he could rotate the strike.

That said, as much as it pains, Lehmann wasn't the greatest when the ball was above his neck. Had that peculiarly SA tendency to try to throw the hands at absolutely everything wide of off-stump too. On Adelaide, 4 runs, just about everywhere else, big nick to 2nd. Transplant Lehmann of the early 90's to the pitches of the early 00's, though, and it would have been damn fun to watch.

 

[robelinda]

Its is true, he was a crazy square cutter, but poor on the leg side with short balls. In his 255 he just hammers the point fence at Adelaide brutally. He wasnt known for making many runs the Gabba or at Perth either, but guys like Martyn were. In 1995 when Law made his test debut, I couldnt believe they didnt go with Lehmann, he was in teriffic form, same in 94 when Blewett debuted, but Greg was having a golden summer to be fair i guess, Lehmann had paid his dues though.

 

[Top_Cat]

haha, loved that partnership between Lehmann and Nobes. Both tanks, hilarious watching them turn an easy 5 down the ground at Adelaide into a hard-run 4. Needless to say, never many quick singles between those two....

It's not. You'd be making a lot of Indians very happy if you upload that one.

Ok, don't do it Rob

Hi mate. Thanks for posting good batting videos. Can you post videos of good bowling that are not already on youtube. Like klusener's 5 wickets against Australia in the fourth game of the CUODS 97/98. I'm willing to pay paypal money or prostitutes if you like.
