'Dale Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 AUSTRALIAN CRICKETfrom news24 Darren Lehmann was on Monday hailed as the "obvious choice" after replacing the sacked Mickey Arthur as Australia head coach just 16 days before the first Ashes Test in England following several embarrassing on and off-field incidents involving the team. "The timing is far from ideal but we didn't feel we could sit back and hope matters would change without addressing issues critical to a high-performing team culture," Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland told a news conference in Bristol, southwest England. "It obviously isn't the type of change we want to make three weeks out from the Ashes commencing but we believe a change is needed." "I'd like to acknowledge Mickey Arthur, his commitment and dedication to the task and passion for the Australian cricket team," Sutherland said. "Mickey Arthur is a good man, he's tried his utmost to do a good job and unfortunately, at the end of day he just hasn't quite done that. "We decided things weren't improving -- we could let things be as they are."
