as if the old school Darren Lehmann wouldn't go with the classic "Last man in, first man out" policy

He's not Machiavellian. He's as thick as whipped sh*t.
He speaks his mind because there's only ever one thing at a time on it.

I would take a punt and bring him in for Siddle
Patto would be a lock to be brought in for this Test if only he'd had some red ball overs under his belt

Going into this test match, MJ is averaging more than Clarke with the bat; Clarke is averaging less than MJ with the ball.
Aren't small sample sizes grand?

And there should be room in international sport for such a person
I just think it's a great story
Couldn't get a Shield game for the Blues a few years ago, and then he gets a taste of it in a T20 game...and has just taken his opportunity and run with it
Now he's a lock in all forms, a massive income earner, has bought his folks a house etc. And he backs up his undiplomatic comments with runs
As I say, it's just a great story

Does old school Darren Lehmann should know sometimes it's necessarily but grind out results in order to win a series?

No one says he can't play. Course there's a place for it, but you're an idiot to give a side like SA ammo before a decider. Dumb stuff.
And don't forget his off field schtick cost him a couple of Ashes tests in England last winter. An hour or two of him in the first away Ashes test would have been bloody handy for us, and could well have put a different tone on the series.
He's becoming a serious player but I find it disappointing he keeps saying all the right things about learning lessons, then repeats the same mistakes. He must never captain Australia.

Warner thrives off it, even if his team mates don't. Credit to him that he can take as good as he gives.

Of course, he shouldn't think about he effect on his team mates. Kudos.

I know this is not a thing you can say these days what with the interwebs and all (and hell, i'm not even on the anti-PC brigade, I love my political correctness), but people should just not take what he says seriously. The guy has an IQ lower than Derek Zoolander. It's almost discriminatory to fine him for talking.

Not sure it harmed them in the Ashes.
We all know Warner is dumb, it's a known fact, let's move on from it. At least he can back up his words, which is better than a lot of players who can't around the world.

@ARamseyCricket: Interesting. James Pattinson warming up with Aust team while Peter Siddle watches. Is there an early bowling change in the wind?

He hasn't backed them up too much lately at 0/0 on day one. He has at 0/0 with a first innings lead of 160-200. Hope he goes big first dig here though.
He's not going to change, as you said. **** can bat, that's for sure.

M Waugh and the 6'5" nervous tic from Sutherland calling for just this on Fox now

Been long overdue. Siddle's been travelling in the other twos slip stream for a while now.

Reckon Clarke's been a bit too low in his batting stance lately.
