Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has said that the team environment has changed under the mentorship of head coach Darren Lehmann who has made it more enjoyable. According to an Australian website, Watson's comment was in response of former captain Ricky Ponting's view in his new book, which stated the players air each other's dirty laundry in public in the current team unlike the past, where they used to protect each other. However, Watson believes that the team environment significantly changed after Lehmann came in following the sacking of Mickey Arthur, under whom, he hinted, things were going in the wrong direction which made the atmosphere less than ideal. Stating that Lehmann has brought fun back to the team, Watson further said that Lehmann knows what environment is necessary within the team to get the best out of the players, adding that he is also aware of the Australian way of playing cricket and living that day to day, which he brought back into the team.
