Lyon's the very definition of meh to me. Very accurate, doesn't try to put revs on the ball - in other words, dull to watch.

Nah I don't rate him as a bowler. Totally innocuous unless he's bowling in a crater. Had a good 18 months or so a while back, but he's just not that good sorry. Ridiculously overhyped bowler.
He's a good slipper and lower order slapper though.

Like I said during the play, Lyon has passed his audition to be the Australian shorter formats spin bowler. His fielding is way better than I gave him credit for originally (or maybe he has improved) and anything to get Xavier Doherty out of the national team is a solid move.
One reason why I'm not being completely over critical at Lyon's performance yesterday is that having a durable spin bowler bowl tightly at least allowed Clarke to give Siddle and Starc adequate recovery time between spells which help the quicks in the end. Its also why despite Watson only taking 2/109 in the game and making 35 runs across 2 innings, he played an important role, especially when you consider his two wickets were Mahela and Dilshan.

Nah Lyon puts heaps of revs on the ball. It's just more overspin than square spin.

Taken some this season, but yes, but the points PEWS made about him, and mainly his bowling action as compared to Lyon, Beer etc seem to hold true

Considering Bangladesh has a population of over 150 million, I'd say they are, ****.
Most over represented is NZ, because frankly one is too many.
