A POST-DAY tongue lashing and pre-day joke spotlighted the two sides of Darren Lehmann's coaching mantra that steered Australia to Ashes glory.
Australia's 3-0 Ashes victory has drawn focus on Lehmann's new-world, old-world coaching methods which made him instantly successful in the Indian Premier League, at first class level and now at national level.

Lehmann has become renowned as the man who puts a smile on his players' faces and his style was seen as a direct contrast to England coach Andy Flower who has the bearing of a military major.
But soon after Australia's Ashes win Lehmann also spoke of the need to play the enforcer such as after the fourth day when he felt Australia's bowlers had drifted from their precise game plan as fatigue and impatience took their toll.
"I am relaxed outwardly but if you had been in some team debriefs lately you would probably think the other way," Lehmann said.
"We are brutally honest. The blokes got a bit of a lashing last night with the way we bowled but they keep learning."

Lehmann then spoke of how he occasionally uses a joke of the day to lighten the mood.
"I do it because they are funny and I like to see the sweat on the players or coaches faces because it is quite nerve-wracking for them (when they tell it). They worry players won't laugh. We had the worst joke today in my time from our phsyio so he won't be doing it again. You need some fun. The game is about enjoyment.
"No-one enjoys telling the joke because they are always nervous."
As a coach Lehmann is an unusual blend of the past and present. He loves a dressing room beer but lives in a world where scientists tell him its going out of fashion.

He uses some sport science but is not a slave to it and no amount of data will convince him a fit player should be rested from a Test match or that beers should be banned from the rooms.
He was never big on the gymnasium as a player but knows that is the second home of modern players and the game plans he sanctions are shamelessly hard-edged and aggressive.
Winning the Ashes justifies the huge gamble Cricket Australia took install Lehmann in place of Mickey Arthur just before the recent Ashes tour.

"I had a vision where I wanted to take us as a cricket team. We came up with some players and plans that will work for a long period of time. The atmosphere and belief of getting the guys to play a good attacking brank of cricket was essential," Lehmann said.
"We bowled really well in England. England did not make over 400 in the last eight Test matches. We just didn't bat well in England. We have batted better here. It was very emotional for a lot of players today. To see a few tears in their eyes was great.
"We have played some good cricket but they have had their chances as well. In England we lost those key moments. Here we won them.''
