Lehmann was given the job after Mickey Arthur was removed from the post ahead of the first Ashes Test, which starts at Trent Bridge on July 10. Arthur&#8217;s final few months in charge of the team were marred by disciplinary issues including vice-captain Shane Watson, Mitchell Johnson, James Pattinson and Usman Khawaja all being punished for failing to make a presentation on how the team could improve. Opening batsman David Warner was also suspended earlier this month after he was involved in a bar bust-up with Joe Root in Birmingham. Ponting admits those factors did not help but he is confident Lehmann can show his class and experience to lead the Aussies to victory. &#8220;&#8216;Boof&#8217; has had a lot of success as a coach and even though I have never played under him I know exactly what he&#8217;ll be like around the Australia team,&#8221; Ponting said. &#8220;He will bring calmness to the group, make sure they try to have fun and enjoy the experience of playing for Australia. Above all,"}
