When will the selectors learn that Lehmann isn’t up to this level of cricket.

He's the captain.

Absolutely.
How he remains in the job is a mystery!

I wonder what the Mike Hussey report said about him

It was apparently extremely critical of him, hence why SACA won’t release it. What a disgrace they are able to get away with that.
Easy to blame too many Grade clubs, even though we have less than Tassie

With Head and Carey playing for Australia we have done well in that regard. Head, despite the criticism, might end up being our most successful Test batsman since the Chappells.
Unfortunately there seems to be a big gap between the quality of Head and Carey and the rest. Those we've invested a lot of matches in to haven't translated into consistent performers (Weatherald/Lehmann and before that Cooper) and we've given limited opportunity to a number of others over the years. We miss Ferguson, but should've developed someone else to similar standard by now. We also haven't recruited a player of the ilk of Hughes or Klinger and instead gone with players that haven't been able to break in to their State team in other states. I think we should have offered an offer too good to refuse to someone like Matt Renshaw and then built around him with players who have been consistent performers in Premier and 2nd XI cricket.
The bowling is a work in progress. Sayers, Mennie, Worrall were a good group and that is rebuilding. Our spinners seem to come in young, but then drift out of the game. You'd expect a spinner to be a bit like a batsman and be better at 28 than at 21. Are there 30 year olds at Premier Cricket level who are performing well, that might be better now than they were when they got an opportunity at 21? Do you add a couple of them to the side if in form?
We've had a generation or two of the most talented English cricketers come through the Darren Lehmann Academy, play Premier Cricket, and I don't think we've enticed one back with a Redbacks contract.
One of the best cricket minds, in Darren Lehmann, hasn't been utilised in our set up since his retirement as a player (I don't think).
I also don't think the coaches we've had have been too bad, including Gillespie.
I guess we just keep trying.
