1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[Starfighter]

When Warne says Lyon bowls too straight, is he talking about today or generally? If it's the latter, I dont think that's accurate at all. Over the last few years, Lyon has done a great job using that wide of off line every time Ive watched him bowl.

Today. It was a strong feature earlier in his career and in my opinion it's never gone away completely.

What that **** means isn't an interesting topic of discussion IMO so I'll just offer up that I do think he's bowled too straight today.

Siddle's large aorta coming into play here

Warne (and others) has been affected by Channel 9 producers wanting banter not technical analysis as the casual wont like it

Guy is a cricket genius

Athers on Siddle: 'Looks like he'll bowl all day for you'

 

[Tom Flint]

Keep going Rory has been grinding runs out for Surrey for the last 5 years need to stick around for us a bit longer yet

 

[Starfighter]

We finally have a third man for Burns. The gate is shut but the horse has gone.

Siddle, Pattinson, Wade. It's like watching a different side today. So good to see Pattinson in Aussie colours.

 

[social]

Burns is seriously dodgy outside off

 

[Tom Flint]

Will aus turn to anyone later in the day to bowl a few seamers to save running Cummins and Pattinson into the ground?
Other options is making siddle do the donkey work or Smith and Lyon both ends

 

[Uppercut]

we call this the harbhajan singh method and yes it hurts

rory burns isn't harbhajan singh-ing quite yet

Maybe not quite harbhajan singh-ing but he's definitely jack leaching (which also hurts).

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Yes, Athers. They generally try to give the commentators a good view

 

[Starfighter]

Someone should tell Warne that Lyon hasn't varied his pace in about five years.

Ofc he bowls a slightly slower one when I post. Why isn't he bowling there more?

His problem is more that when he comes up with an opinion he repeats it for 3-4 hours.

Brad McNamara has a lot to answer for

 

[OverratedSanity]

Siddle has actually been good here

 

[trundler]

Review it

 

[trundler]

Well England's session again

 

[Starfighter]

Good night. A disastrous two sessions after yesterday. Going to take a bit of a miracle in the last session to stop England getting a lead that will likely prove too much for our batsmen tomorrow.


I personally blame Joel Wilson.

Just how good is Peter Siddle?
