If Lehmann walks or is sacked, who replaces him?

[Pykie]

Dizzy

Has had a long coaching career, longer than Langers, with tons of experience in England.

 

[The Speaker]

Not really sure why people are putting forward 'control freak' coaches in this situation. It's not like the players are the ones out of control, going against a weak-willed coaching staff.

If anything, it's the other way around.

 

[Dujon11]

Ponting is hardly even a coach, he has just dabbled in a bit of limited overs stuff.

Langer is the absolute guaranteed next Australian coach, we have known for quite some time.

Nothing wrong with a bit of dabbling

 

[Dujon11]

Bob Simpson might be free

 

[Falcon27]

Would not care who they got in, just need some "decent"(worth looking up the meaning of the word decent to) leadership, and if they can instil the no d!ckheads policy from top to bottom, it can only be good. And that edict has to come from the very top (whoever the new CEO will be) and lived every time they put on the baggy green. This is a real opportunity to change the image and perception of Aussie cricket.

 

[Tigerssaints]

Trevor Balyiss to keep the NSW connection

 

[Kram]

How about Mark Waugh, purely for the BF melts.

 

[DaRick]

How about Mark Waugh, purely for the BF melts.

Hell, why not just reinstate Tim Nielsen for the lulz if we're gonna go down that route?

 

[Jiggyman]

JL has the best credentials and a proven track record of developing talented and fair players, sometimes from a low place in their lives. Ponting could take a part-time role as I suspect he'd still prefer to be coaching his own side.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Bring back John Buchanan to see how Warnie reacts

 

[Kram]

This is what I mean when I say your floggery knows no bounds.
I justified why I wanted who I did.

Couldn’t help yourself.

We both know I'm right about the real reason though.

 

[Foxx1]

Chris Rogers as an assistant at least. This team needs a thorough clean out. A new memorandum with all new back staff and an international head coach who isn’t Australian.

 

[Costanza_]

Smith to captain-coach.

 

[JG22]

Chris Rogers as an assistant at least. This team needs a thorough clean out. A new memorandum with all new back staff and an international head coach who isn’t Australian.

Good shout but can't see it happening

Gillespie hasn't helped his chances, Smith has done wrong but I wouldn't pot them if I was wanting to coach the nation

 

[Cleavy]

Langer, unless he's playing favourites with selections.

 

[Hellgood]

Langer the most logical choice.

Can see Lehmann walking from the post, wasn't he going to call it quits after the world cup next year anyway? I know this coming winter is pretty light on in terms of the schedule, but hard to see him being keen to stick around through the volumes of press and investigations to come.

 

[Wolfs]

Hard to say.

Justin Langer has turned around a hitherto dysfunctional Warriors squad. However, he comes off as a little too earnest and eager to ingratiate himself to his allies.

Ricky Ponting seems to be quite an astute commentator and analyst. At the tactical level he was overly reactive as a Test captain, but that should be less of a problem as a coach - plus he doesn't have Nielsen/Cooley to let him down.

Jason Gillespie is highly regarded, but from what I've heard not on the best terms with CA.

I'd normally want to have a look at the Sheffield Shield winning coach, but neither Seccombe nor Griffith are overly experienced coaches.

Internationally, Gary Kirsten and Anil Kumble may be worth looking at, though the same cultural and organisational issues that eventually ended Mickey Arthur's tenure could easily swallow them up.

I reckon with this younger lot an international coach would be fine, and those who have been around Arthur will have learned.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Langer seems to have a weird 'Brett Kirk ch 7 vibe' to me but he set WA right and put both the Marshes on the straight and narrow so who knows.

The key to listening to a Justin Langer press conference is to remember that he had to retire due to repeated blows to the head.

 

[Andrewy]

Mick Malthouse surely...set some boundaries. His Assistants - Langer and Ponting and Gilchrist....a dream team.

Someone not like this

 

[skipper kelly]

Paul Roos

 

[Blue1980]

James Hird

 

[Number37]

Only one choice, Dizzy.

 

[Arc1]

The choice is so obvious - Michael Clarke.

Just ask him.

 

[Wolfs]

Get Michael Atherton from Eng
