Read my post again ffs. What are you even going on about.

i guess the flipside is have you seen Lyon play lately? He actually has to bowl and take wickets before the kiwi tail of Tim Southee, Doug Bracewell, Trent Boult and Chris Martin are in

word has it that upon hearing the news of maxwell's selection james brayshaw broke
into a furious fit of masturbation

vic v tas - one innings, 19-7-51-1
tas v sa - one innings, 7-2-15-1
tas v qld - one innings, 8-1-44-0 (in the same match hauritz only bowled in one innings for 13-1-30-0)
tas v WA - one innings, 19-4-50-0 (bird/butterworth were dominating)

i think his record this season's been a bit overstated, the circumstances don't exactly help

**** me, are you ****s blind or something?

If you can find a post where I said Doherty is a good long form bowler, please quote it.

In fact, if you can find a post which says I think Doherty should play, quote that too.

i mean, there's no doubt lyon is better than doherty in form. but he isn't in form. so. nathan lyon is actually one of the only spinners to have performed worse doherty in the shield this season

Exactly, Lyon is averaging 70+ in the shield this year iirc. People don't understand how **** Lyon has bowled this season.

i can't believe i'm sorta defending doherty.

doherty:

4 games, 53 overs 2/160, av. 80, eco. rate of 3.01

lyon

5 games, 132.1 overs, 7/500, av. of 71.42, eco.rate of 3.78

Indeed, hardly setting the world on fire there.

i'm not all that fussed about the doherty selection, don't reckon he'd do any worse than lyon, but it's maxwell's selection that we should care about
