A superbly talented player, the stockily-built Darren Lehmann is a free-scoring left-handed batsman, and an underestimated left-arm orthodox spin bowler. As an out-and-out strokeplayer, he treats spectators to an audacious mixture of swashbuckling aggression and deft finesse.
From the time that he burst on to the first-class scene in Australia as a 17-year-old in the 1987-88 season (he smashed 228 on debut), Lehmann has built an imposing record in both his home country and with the county team Yorkshire. He achieved a telling milestone by playing more first-class games and scoring more runs than any other Australian before making his Test debut – in Bangalore in 1998. His first-class average is well over fifty, and after appearing to have blown the few Test opportunities that came his way, he bucked the trend of youth winning out by establishing himself in the Australian side at 33 with a maiden hundred at Port-of-Spain (in his tenth Test), and then two against both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the next 12 months. Named stand-in vice-captain for the 2004 India tour when Ricky Ponting broke his thumb, Lehmann offered to give up his place to Michael Clarke after his amazing debut century at Bangalore, and limped out of the series after the third Test with a torn hamstring.

Lehmann's talents won him far more regular opportunities in Australia's one-day international team - particularly during the late 1990s, and on the restructuring of the country's limited-overs squad in early 2002. In 1999 he had the honour, on the hallowed turf at Lord's, of hitting the winning runs in the World Cup final, and was a key member of the side which defended the title four years later.

On the domestic front he was no less effective, and was an integral member of winning Sheffield Shield sides in 1990-91 and 1995-96 and Yorkshire’s victorious County Championship team of 2001. He is now the leading run scorer in Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup history.
