Upton could bring in a new perspective to the Australian setup

#2 Stephen Fleming

CSK have put faith in Fleming's coaching methods by appointing as their coach this season as well

Another New Zealander, who has tasted success, especially in the Indian Premier League.

Fleming may have said in the past that he was not looking at coaching an international side at the present moment, but trying to get Australian cricket back on track could well be the ideal challenge which could make him alter his thoughts and take up the responsibility.

Fleming's coaching credentials include two IPL titles in 2010 and 2011 and also a stint with the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League.

In the aftermath of the ball tampering incident, Lehmann had praised the manner in which New Zealand played the game and Fleming could help instil that attitude in the Australian side if he took up the job.
