2nd Test Australia v Pakistan Dec 26--30 1000hrs @ the MCG

[Adelaide Hawk]

Lyons been crap this innings

Typical 4th innings performance from Lyon.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Salaman proving to be a thorn in the side, takes all his catches and batting nicely

He is a better batsman than most think

 

[eddiesmith]

I'd have taken stumps and come back with the 3 seamers fresh

Probably already booked their tee time for the morning

 

[Gethelred]

Lyons been crap this innings

Alternatively, the ball span and got more shape on day 2 than it has today. Lyon's not gotten worse, conditions haven't suited and they've made a policy to go after him.

 

[Young Redleg]

At this point I don't really want anyone but Cummins to bowl

 

[Fudge Nuggets]

A glorious victory...over a team who haven't beaten us here in 3 decades.

Let us have a parade for our gallant team, who were plucked straight out of a NSW nursing home, for this astonishing achievement.

How about you gfy?

 

[GreekLunatic]

it will be funny if lyon gets salaman off a crap ball

 

[Snarls Barkley]

To be fair, Afridi and Hamza are genuine bunnies and one of them is already out there.

Shaheen’s batting has improved the last few years. I think he has slightly wriggled out of bunny territory

 

[manureid]

Reckon they need to take Gary Lyon off and bring Nathan Lyon on.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why is Lyon still on

 

[scoman]

why take the extra 30 mins for

Lads would rather an early tee time tomorrow.

 

[ams4crows]

Gotta try and keep Salman off strike.

We still learnt nothing from the two Stokes innings I see

 

[MJG14]

He is a better batsman than most think

Was shocked to see that he has a Test average of 46. Handy for a guy coming in at 7.

 

[Gethelred]

Is it Travis time yet?

It's always Travis time somewhere.

 

[Jimthegreat]

The way Lyon is going today Head would be a better option.

 

[MarcusP2]

77 runs that Carey out on with the tail this morning suddenly looking important.

 

[ABAB]

The spike shows that the ball hit something, but not what it hit.

The 3rd umpire lined both footages of the spike and the ball hitting the wrist band.

 

[manureid]

At this point I am spinning the ball as much as Lyon.

 

[TigerCraig]

It's always Travis time somewhere.

 

[PhatBoy]

Did Marnus just say something to a Pakistani player along the lines of ‘I’ve seen how you play in the IPL?’

 

[ams4crows]

It would actually be great for Test cricket if Pakistan win this game.

 

[SC_Power]

Typical 4th innings performance from Lyon.

Apart from having his career best averages and lowest economy rate in the 4th innings, I agree with you.

 

[SSwans2011]

Did Marnus just say something to a Pakistani player along the lines of ‘I’ve seen how you play in the IPL?’

Yeah I think Carey was joking that Pakistan could have a dip at 80 runs in the last 6 overs and Marnus was joking that Shaheen was capable of it.

 

[ams4crows]

Cummins has to open tomorrow morning if there are still batsman left he basically has to bowl every 2nd over until Salman is out

 

[BG32]

A question for some of the old dogs around here, was Warnie washed towards the end of his career and had wicketless innings? I could look at the stats but cbf
