Sometimes with Warner early on his drives look so lazy it's almost like he is taking the piss

Watson's wicket makes me sigh every time. Did a little but not a lot and a top order bat really should be covering balls like that in his sleep.

You don't have to worry about edges not carrying at the WACA

Ruckus · 30-11-2012, 02:59 AM

Its so good if a nightwatchman actually survives a good deal of overs. Good bowling with the new ball is basically wasted.

I just said good three times in that sentence.

Excellent job by Lyon

No one ever does, but he just keeps on taking wickets. You never feel that uncomfortable against him, but his record speaks for itself, over a fair while now.

I heard he was playing last night, few of his mates flew over. I can see the logic behind it, he can do the job into the breeze at the WACA. I wouldn't be surprised if he joins his best mate McKay as a one Test wonder, but I think it's an understandable one-off choice.

Lyon's sort of the perfect nightwatchman. #11 bat but with a really good defensive technique and really good ticker.

Ruckus · 30-11-2012, 03:01 AM

Not bad that. I'll take it.

The first India-England test in the current series had Prior, Bresnan,Broad and Swann when Anderson got promoted as a night-watchman

good boy natho, what a top day of test cricket for you. no doubt 50% of punters had him not even playing

sonnench · 30-11-2012, 03:03 AM

Lyon deserves a medal for surviving that, especially that last over.

Good day, pretty even in my opinion. Gonna miss first session tomorrow because I got a game, dammit.....

Okay, I'll settle for strongest Aussie tail ever

Justo · 30-11-2012, 03:09 AM

Good stuff. Things are pretty even although Clarke and Hussey are still to come.

As well as Lyon has batted I never understood why teams always choose the absolute worst batsmen in the team as night watchman. Would have thought it'd be better to bring up Johnson who might be able to make a quick fire 50 if he survives. England promoted Anderson in a recent test match which left Swann as the last batsmen. Would have been better off promoting Swann imo.

Just quietly, Lyon is turning into a very useful cricketer for Australia.
