Wickman Junior reads with interest about the talk of Darren Lehman becoming the next England coach. I've described this development in other media commitments this week, as being "exciting".
For those of you with a short memory, Darren was the fat bloke who scored a shed load of runs for Australia and, in 2003, was brought down by the ICC for the small matter of racial vilification. Calling the Sri Lankans "black so and so's" after being run out was probably not the best idea, but in the heat of the moment these things happen....
But who better to repair the dressing room split within England's camp? Darren is very much a Joe Kinnear type character who isn't going to take any shit, and will put egos in check if necessary. And if it means using the odd racial slur to get results, then the board should back him...
