Re: West Indies in Australia
Lehmann was still captaining South Australia in the Shield at the time he was selected.
Well you're welcome to have a go at finding a trend for me. I can't see either Hookes or Lawson there.LIONS then DAYLIGHT;386881 said:Come off it, there has always been a long running tradition to play a retired player, not always a recently retired player, but a retired player all the same in these PM fixtures.
Geoff Lawson played in 2004 from memory, the late David Hookes had a hit in 2002/03 against England, I think Boof Lehmann had a centre wicket in 06/07.
It isn't exactly a new thing.
