A tale of two coaches

In 2004, the playing careers of Darren Lehmann and Michael Clarke briefly overlapped when Lehmann offered to give up his Test place for Clarke, who had just scored a debut century in Bangalore. Now they are coach and captain of Australia, together plotting to win a World Cup final.
In 2001, the playing careers of Mike Hesson and Brendon McCullum overlapped too, at a slightly different level. They batted together for Otago A, Hesson the opener and captain, McCullum, the young emerging wicketkeeper-batsman who had played five first-class games but was yet to score a fifty. Now they are coach and captain of New Zealand, together aiming for a World Cup triumph.
