Ball-tampering scandal Australian cricketers need to respect opposition says Mickey Arthur
Lehmann, a colossus in Australian domestic cricket, took over the role of head coach of the Australian team from Mickey Arthur in June 2013 just weeks before the start of the Ashes.
Lehmann was cleared of any wrongdoing by a Cricket Australia investigation after Steve Smith and David Warner were banned for one year while Cameron Bancroft was handed a nine-month ban.
"This will be my last Test as head coach of the Australian cricket team as I am stepping down".
He said seeing footage of former captain Steve Smith breaking down at a press conference in Australia on Thursday morning had helped him come to the decision.
David Warner also addressed the media briefly and said "you will hear from me in a few days" regarding the scandal that Cricket Australia found he had masterminded. Despite telling media yesterday that I'm not resigning, after viewing Steve and Cameron's hurting it is only fair that I make this decision.
Arthur said the ball-tampering scandal might ultimately end up being a force for good in helping prompt reform in Australian cricket. I really felt for Steve as I saw him crying in front of the media and all of the players are really hurting.
"My family and I have copped a lot of abuse over the last week and it's taken its toll on them", he said.
"This will allow Cricket Australia to complete a full review into the team and allow them to implement changes to regain the trust of the Australian public".

"Saying goodbye to the players was the toughest thing I have ever had to do".
Despite generational change, independent reviews and too many behavioural spotfires to list, Cricket Australia and the national team had demonstrated no real willingness or desire to improve the culture within their organisation from season to season.
"Everyone has their views out there, but they made a mistake and we need to get the game back on track. We're only playing a game". I hope the team rebuilds from this and the Australian public find it in their hearts to forgive these young men and get behind the XI who are going to take the field tomorrow.
When, on Saturday, images of Cameron Bancroft using sandpaper to doctor the ball appeared on the big screen at the Cape Town Test match, Lehmann was pictured using a walkie-talkie to communicate a message from the dressing room to Australia's 12th man on the boundary.
"The hysteria has gone world wide, and everyone that dislikes the way the Australian cricket team has played. has been given the opportunity to lay the boots in", he said.
"Hopefully the game gets back to the game of cricket, it is a game to be loved and enjoyed".
The South African, now coach of Pakistan, was sacked by Australia in 2013 after a series of embarrassing standoffs with some of the test team over standards of professionalism on an ill-fated tour of India and leading up to an Ashes series.
