Darren Lehmann

Darren Lehmann is an Australian cricketer, primarily a left-handed batsman. He is known as an aggressive strokeplayer. His batting technique is quite unconventional; he takes guard outside leg stump, and, just before a ball is bowled, he steps back and across toward off stump. This peculiar technique means that if the ball is short in pitch, he needs not to step back any further. He is also a useful left-arm orthodox spinner, (as evidenced when he took six for 92 against Sri Lanka in Colombo). He is very accurate, but he has little ability to turn the ball. He is also a reasonable fielder with good reflexes and accuracy; not particularly quick around the field but having a safe pair of hands.
