		Buchanan's mantle has slipped with his team's and he has been criticised for the bowlers' excessive no-balls, the batsmen's inability to cope with reverse-swing, a decline in fielding standards and being unable to lift the squad in the break before the fourth Test.
		During Buchanan's reign Australia have won 53 matches and lost only ten, and he was part of 15 of their record-breaking 16 victories between 1999 and 2001.
		Geoff Marsh, who Buchanan replaced in 1999, said Australia needed to mirror the attitude of their remarkable six-match and one-tie streak on the way to lifting the World Cup six years ago.

		Buchanan, who returned home from a disastrous season as coach of English county side Middlesex, said Australia's first-class players were a league above their English counterparts.
		Buchanan ventured to Middlesex for the Australian winter hoping to implement the same program which netted Queensland two Sheffield Shield titles in the past four years.
		Buchanan said former England captain Mike Gatting and current Test batsman Mark Ramprakash were the staunchest in their resistance to new ideas, and eventually led to a rejection of his methods.

		Put in charge of a team that was used to being led by example, Buchanan approached his job with a whole new perspective, and, crucially, the approval of his captain, Steve Waugh, who was a keen student of the game.
		Buchanan believed his role was to expand the horizons of his team by developing the individuals within - and not just in a cricket sense.
		So, while Australia continued on their barnstorming run of success, Buchanan was constantly calculating in the background, encouraging his charges to improve their self-assurance by delivering lectures and reciting poetry in the dressing-room.

	One-day game overhaul is Buchanan's Twenty20 vision - Cricket - www.smh.com.au
		Australia coach John Buchanan has called on custodians of the game to use Twenty20 as a way of kick-starting an overhaul of one-day cricket, such as splitting 50-overs-a-side matches into four innings.
		Buchanan hopes the new 20-over format will speed up changes to the one-day game and produce a more athletic, creative breed of cricketer, just as the birth of one-day cricket more than three decades ago led to slicker fielding, better running between wickets and faster scoring rates in Tests.
		Cricket Australia has in recent years experimented with a free hit, 12 players per team, different fielding restrictions and rewards for the fastest 50s in the 50-over ING Cup competition.

		Cricket matches on the village green or on grounds attached to the great country houses, romanticised in both forms by generations of writers, could be completed in a day thanks to the lingering English twilights.
		Primarily, because one-day cricket formed the basis of the relentlessly competitive Yorkshire and Lancashire leagues, where matches were completed in half a day to allow the factory workers to play or watch after completing their 5-1/2-day week at Saturday lunchtime.
		Buchanan said Australia had taken precautions to ensure the players were not subject to the welter of injuries that flattened England’s Ashes campaign over the last few months.

		Australian captain Steve Waugh publicly criticized Buchanan after he told reporters during the recent tour of India that Shane Warne's place in the test team was in doubt.
		Buchanan was not convinced that changing the normal Ashes tour policy of having the coach, captain and vice-captain select the team, in consultation with the chairman of selectors, was a good move, Speed said.
		Buchanan said on Australian Broadcasting Corporation Radio on Thursday that he had a good working relationship with Waugh and vice-captain Adam Gilchrist and he did not think that would change.

		We see so much of cricket on television these days that if unsavoury behaviour was going on all the time, you would be aware of it.

		Buchanan, still waiting on the results of a scan in London on the mystery shoulder injury which curtailed Lee's part in his team's Taunton flop, is not inclined to risk a player so integral to Australia's plans unless he is given an unqualified all-clear by the specialists.
		Buchanan was not as outspoken in defeat as Ponting, whose reaction to the Somerset debacle - where the tourists failed to defend a 50-over total of 342 for five, following Monday's Twenty20 mauling by England - was, in his own words, "anger" and "embarrassment".
		Cricket Australia and Lee's comments contradict the prognosis of Australia coach John Buchanan, who said the injured fast bowler was "very unlikely" to play at the weekend.

		But their eagerness to field a bowler who has taken 42 wickets in only seven Tests will not extend to rushing him into action before he is ready and he is unlikely to feature heavily in the triangular one-day series against Pakistan and England.
		As part of Lee's rehabilitation process, Buchanan will also urge their main spearhead to concentrate more on line and length than his express pace in an effort to increase his stamina and enable him to bowl faster for longer periods later in the summer.
		Buchanan's comments follow captain Waugh's ringing endorsement of Lee's gifts yesterday when he claimed: "He's a special talent - in some ways he is doing for fast bowling what Shane Warne did for spin bowling.

		In 1985-86, Australian cricket is traditionally held to be in its nadir, as New Zealand beat Australia in Australia for the first time, on the back of Richard Hadlee's great performances.
		The administration of Zimbabwe cricket is a royal mess, as befits one of the most misgoverned nations in the world.
		This is the most difficult delivery to master; the ball comes out the front of the hand and the idea is actually to bowl it rather short, so as to entice the batsman to play on the back foot, whereupon the ball hurried onto the victim and bowled him, or trapped him leg before wicket.

		Buchanan compared Lee's current form with that of Thomson at his peak when the human slingshot shattered stumps and bones and drove a wedge of fear into opposition batsmen.
		Buchanan believes Lee is forcing batsmen to change their techniques and game plans in a bid to survive.
		It is a trait that marked Lee's entry into world cricket when he regularly followed one wicket with another as he zeroed on the unprepared newcomer with 155kmh yorkers.

	Life feels empty without Waugh By Michael Donaldson January 6
		And for many - though not the man himself - his departure as a Test cricketer is an occasion for sadness.
		For most of their lives, the Waugh brothers' careers ran parallel, apart from a few early years when Steve ran ahead of Mark and then took a back seat as Mark took his place in the Australian team, until room was found for both.
		There was depression as Australia lost in Adelaide and the future seemed grim as Australia's bowlers struggled, the batting crumbled and coach John Buchanan slammed the team as soul-less.
