A tearful Darren Lehmann said yesterday he would quit as coach of the scandal-tainted Australia team after the fourth Test in South Africa beginning today. "This will be my last Test as head coach of the Australian cricket team," Lehmann told the media on match eve. "Saying goodbye to the players was the toughest. After seeing events in the media today with Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft, the feeling is that Australian cricket needs to move forward and this is the right thing to do. I really felt for Steve and, as you see, I'm crying in front of the media. All the players are really hurting."
