Sorry, not sure I agree with that statement (completely).. Lehmann has hit over 2000 first class runs already at an average of 44 and has 5x 100's and 7x 50's - he's hardly only had a couple of good innings.
Sheffield Shield Record:2017/18 - 212 runs @ 53.00, 1x 50, 1x 100
2016/17 - 692 runs @ 40.71, 4x 50, 1x 100
2015/16 - 623 runs @ 44.50, 0x 50, 3x 100
2014/15 - 145 runs @ 36.25, 2x 50, 0x 100
He's been one of our more consistent middle order bats since coming into the side.
I do agree it's horrible to see players of yester-year spend year after year churning out thousands in Shield cricket before getting a crack - if at all - but the times have changed, and Lehmann has as much claim as anyone.
