#2 Jake Lehmann
The coach's son and a prolific run-scorer for South Australia, Jake Lehmann was earmarked as a special talent pretty early. He came to the forefront in the last Sheffield season where he amassed 623 runs at an average of 44.5 including three hundreds.
He ensured that he carried on after getting a century and notched up his first double hundred, a 205 against Tasmania. In 18 matches, Lehmann has 1322 runs at an average of 48.96, including five centuries.
If anything, what Australia require right now is players with a never-say-die attitude and good temperament. Lehmann seems to possess both of that, very much like his father. He is on the back of an unbeaten 129 against Tasmania last week and is in very good nick. Though the coach, Darren Lehmann, has revealed he will not be part of any discussions involving his son’s selection, Jake seems to be a good choice in a disorganised middle order.
