Nathan Lyon deserves more respect

[Jono]

Who reckons he is better than Swann though?

Best thing Lyon is doing is keeping Doherty and Beer out of the test team and he deserves respect for that. Must be able to sing too bcos I think he's a pretty shaky member of the team to be given the team song.

You seem to randomly bring that up a lot though; it's weird. It's just one bloke's opinion; doesn't deserve so much attention.

It's more a commentary on how little Burgey rates Swann than him thinking Lyon is world class anyway; I reckon I rate Lyon more than Burgey does.

Yeah it's a combination of both tbh. I think Lyon is a good bowler and would have some pretty eye catching numbers for a young finger spinner playing here if he had a keeper in his side.

Swan is the most monumentally over rated player on earth IMO. Has a couple of good years but is apparently brilliant because people think he's funny and because he has a stupid looking chin.

Look, I'm trying to make it the modern day Nasser Hussain/Matthew Hayden. Don't derail my campaign.

You can't not love Burgey tbf.

**** I was expecting heaps of trolls and uninformed mongs chiming in with comments along the lines of "Lyon is a badder bowler than everyone cos he sucks at doing cricket." That's roughly the quality of 2/3 of posters on cricinfo.

I'm appreciating the level of knowledge and understanding displayed here during my brief stay so far. Should have joined ages ago instead of spamming the ****e out of my only mate who has a hint of interest in cricket. He's well and truly grown tired of my incessant rants on cricketing minutiae.

I spam the **** out of two specific mates (who know a lot about cricket tbf) but CW gives a far wider range of opinions (and one of my mates bags me about Kohli 24/7 and calls him Lohli)*. Its a great place.

Welcome.



















* said mate has a long-term bet with me re: Kohli vs. Chandimal. Said mate is not a Lankan either, just loves Chandimal.

Lyon rips it enough on Australian pitches.

He also gets good bounce, that all bodes well for being a decent bowler in India imo.

I reckon it will be between Ojha and Lyon for the top wicket taker.

[Cabinet96]

Calling it now, Lyon will be Australia's highest wicket taker in England.

[Jono]

You are either predicting England 4-0 or 5-0, or you've gone bonkers.

[uvelocity]

reports are cupboard96 isn't much of a bonker

[KiWiNiNjA]

I heard he used to be a groundsman.

I'm not your mate, all right.
