Ffs Lyon bowl fricking slower.Stop bowling darts.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Doherty should be irrelevant when picking a side but Lyon is probably at number 3 for me equal with O'keefe. Behind Ahmed and Agar.

Forgetting a bloke called Mick Beer, who was keeping Agar out of the team?

 

[Doodlesweaver]

I think the fact is, that him, Siddle and Henriques were the only ones to play both tests and he bowled better than him. You have a good point but doesn't detract from the fact that he was our best bowler.

I don't understand what point you are making? I'll have to read back over my comments. I'm sure I haven't mentioned any of the older bowlers at all. Pattinson is our best strike bowler.

Beer only had the benefit of incumbency.

didnt lyon have a chat with warnie about bowling?

Agar looks far better, but, that's just my opinion. Beer is actually a very similar bowler to Lyon.

To be fair to Lyon, every time he tries to toss one up, the Indians smack him for a boundary, so he goes back into his shell and bowls darts to try to stop being smacked.

However, I would have thought that as a professional spinner, he would have accepted and understood that being smacked was part of the job description and if he could deceive a batsman in flight he might just take a wicket.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

I get the feeling that the Indians might just sneak past the follow on target.

Must not listen to other peoples advice. I got no idea.

It's really annoying me that he wont slow it down for just a couple of balls per over. His getting faster and faster.

If his gonna get too scared of getting hit over the top if he tosses one up then he shouldn't be playing cricket.

Agar is very young, he hasn't been worked out yet by batsmen. He might not be but it's a bit early to make a big call on him.

He's good to watch bat and bowl and looks like an athlete. Which CA always like. His big plus seems to be his temperament.

 

[Magma]

might as well be dancing down to the fast bowler

this is ridiculously good.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Why not toss the ball to your leggie? 196 runs FFS.

 

[Patron]

Ok, moving on.

Would you say or not say that James Pattinson was our best bowler, (not pace bowler, just bowler) in the first two tests?

**** yes he was.

 

[DardySingh360]

This is ****ing ridiculous, seriously

beer gets much better drift (doesn't mean he's better just gets really good drift through the air)

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Just realised that Dhawan has 110 runs from boundaries (26 fours and one six). Incredible knock, though I suspect he faces more challenging bowlers in the Ranji Trophy than he's playing at the moment.

We've got a smorgasbord of them.

Warner, Smith, hell even Ed is listed as a leggie.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

We used to laugh, saying how Indian bowling attacks were worse than Shield attacks. Now Australian bowling line ups are worse than Ranji Trophy bowling attacks.

You know which one I mean haha. Chuck the ball to Steve for two overs, can't hurt to try.

Doesn't conform with our rest policy. Smith actually batted so can't be bowled. Im amazing Starc wasn't subbed in case he got injured.

He's batting on a home town road against an ordinary attack.

Great knock, but I'll reserve my judgement.

 

[Magma]

i expect to see a new bowler for the next test

b. machine

is that allowed? who cares, do it.

He's not a great mover in the field unfortunately.
