...then all podgy, bald, unfit, unfashionable blokes would lose all hope of one day wearing the baggy green.
:D
But seriously, I dont know what we would have done without him in this Test. He's been superb, the X factor.
Been mentioned before, but its such a shame this guy didnt get the opportunity to play more Test cricket.
The man is a god, a bald, pot bellied Adonis.
Now that Ian Thorpe has turned into a ****y metrosexual, if Australia becomes a republic, I know who I'm going to be pushing for President.
Lehmann carrying the rest of the side?
Now cricket followers from other states know what its like to support South Australia. ;)

Lehmann was Australia's best kept secret for over 10 years. South Aussies knew how special he was but the Aussie selectors couldn't see it for some reason.
Oh well, better late than never.

That's the beauty of TEAM sports Go_Doggies, evryone has a chance to be the one in the spotlight.
How many times has Hayden carried the team? What about Ponting? If it wasn't for Warnie we might be 0-2 in the series.
Lehmann is in the middle order to both get runs and also steady the ship if things aren't going right. He's also known as a "partnership breaker" for a reason as a bowler!

I'd still have Boonie in front of Lehmann though.

Gotta love cricket. One of the few sports where a fat, bald Shrek lookalike could dominate proceedings over a bunch of fit looking blokes.
Boof is a God.

(lol
there a few fuglies out there, but boof has decended from a rugged bruce willis type of good looks to some who's mere image would frighten children to eat their dinners and give them nighmares...
no he is not carry australia, anyone remember marto's centuries? gilly gilly gilly big century to put aus in the driving seat? etc Its a team game, and with the exception of bing lee:D (throw away line for my 'fans') everyone has done their bit over the past few years.
I also agree boof and haydo's should have been in the team a long time ago. the fact is, at the tail end of his, when his power are waining, he is still a gun!
If there was one flaw in boof, he is vulnerable early on in his innings, much like deano, but once he's in, he'll tear you to pieces without mercy, and in that he is much like gilly gilly gilly.
