Aussies could learn from Darren Lehmann and Queensland, no Bull Bulls coach Darren Lehman talks to the media after Queensland's one-day final win. AUSTRALIA'S Test cricket team is in India but Australia's best cricket team is in Brisbane. Work that one out. Last week's embarrassing goings-on in the subcontinent inspired former Australian team coach John Buchanan to tip the bucket on the people in charge, telling an English reporter that the infamous rotation policy was creating a culture of distrust, dishonesty and self-interest. Well, here's a suggestion. Take a leaf out of Queensland's book. Under Darren "Boof" Lehmann's coaching, the side has won every bit of silverware on offer and is about to go back for seconds. They're happy, they play for each other and they never say die. It shouldn't take too much research to figure out why. High performance manager Pat Howard's office is at Allan Border Field. He just has to look out his window to see the Bulls training. CHANNEL 9 and Fox Sports wouldn't be too worried - their priority is ratings and subscriptions - but empty seats during NRL telecasts aren't a good look. Supporters of other codes are gloating at the crowd figures for Sunday's matches - just over 12,500 (including all members' seats whether filled or not) at the Titans-Raiders games and 9700 to watch the Tigers and Panthers. But I'd wager the intrusion of AFL and A-League into league heartlands wasn't a major factor. It was the weather. You could have fried an egg on Liam Fulton's head at Campbelltown, and at Skilled Park it wasn't the Gold Coast Suns that kept the crowd away, it was the Gold Coast sun. If they want to increase attendance early in the season the NRL should play all matches at night, but of course Nine and Fox wouldn't like that, and having paid $1 billion for the rights they are the ones who matter. The fans will just have to sweat it out - or stay at home. THE case of Dr David Givney remains a prickly sub-plot to the Cronulla drug imbroglio. Dr Givney, a respected GP who, as well as giving sterling service to the Sharks for over 25 years, has been team doctor for the NSW Blues and Kangaroos, was one of the heads to roll when the club reacted to allegations of players using illegal supplements. Strange that, as he was the person who first alerted the club to possible problems, even threatening to resign if no action was taken. A Sydney reporter revealed that Dr Givney was to be given life membership of the club next month. Of course that decision was made before the club sacked him, and the now-ex chairman David Irvine made astonishing remarks about "equine substances" and Dr Givney's "duty of care." Dr Givney is now in hospital suffering a stress-related heart complaint. Wonder if his visitors include a good defamation lawyer. WHAT was with Greg Bird's hair? He and David Mead looked like Dennis Rodman in his white period, but fear not Titans fans, they are not now out shopping for wedding dresses. The hairdos were to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation as part of a tribute to Ryan O'Dwyer - brother of the Titans' Luke O'Dwyer - who succumbed to the disease in 1998. Hooker Matt Srama shaved and dyed his head for the cause but it was hidden because he wore headgear. Too bad the other two didn't. WALLABY coach Robbie Deans might have had mixed feelings about Quade Cooper's scratchy performance on Saturday night. If Cooper can be so rattled against Australia's lowest-placed Super 15 side, how would he go against the British and Irish Lions? On that showing Deans couldn't pick him, which also means he won't have to pretend to like him.
