Jake Lehmann, son of Australia's coach Darren Lehmann, is poised to begin his journey in senior cricket. After winning a rookie contract with South Australia last season, the 22-year old will be making his debut in the Matador One-Day Cup. Andrew Ramsey, writing in Cricket Australia's website, learns more about Lehmann junior
"He got a rookie contract this season and his body shape has changed completely and as a result - not just because of that - throughout pre-season he's got 50s and 60s and then most pleasing (last weekend) in the Premier League he scored his first hundred," said Darren Berry, the South Australia coach. "So he's right in the mix. He bats on the same side (left-handed like his father), he's got really good hands, and he's got an eye like his dad as well. He plays the ball late, and I think he's a really exciting talent - he's one that's crept up on us to be honest."
