Michael Clarke admits recovery will take time

Clarke and Lehmann concerned about Australia’s batting performances

Australian captain Michael Clarke has conceded that there is no hasty remedy to his team’s batting concerns and the recovery is expected to take time.

Assuring the fans that the team is on the right path to revival, Clarke was quoted as saying by the abc.net,“All I can ask from the players is that they try and get better every day. If they do that, that will make us a better team. That’s all I can ask. We are working exceptionally hard.”

Australian coach Darren Lehmann made no bones about the woeful performances from his team and revealed that he is prepared to wield the axe on the non performing batsmen.

Lehmann said:”From our point of view the blokes have got to learn. If they don’t learn we will find blokes that will.

“I think the bowlers have done a really good job throughout the series to get the wickets we needed to get but on the batting side, simply we’ve lost clumps of wickets and haven’t played the way we want to play.”

He concluded by saying: “It’s a pretty simple game complicated by too many people.”
