Well last time I checked Doherty has taken 2 FC wickets this summer at 80 odd and can't get a run for Tassie. , you're selling Lyon massively short if you think he's been as bad as Doherty in long form cricket.

I'd still prefer him to play in the side ahead of Maxwell mind you.
You had me nodding until the last sentence

Doherty has got nothing

2 ****ing FC wickets

In what post did I say Doherty is as good a long form bowler as Lyon? If you think Lyon's last game was anything but a horrible failure then I just don't...
Course it wasn't a good game for him. Don't recall saying he bowled a Laker-like spell. The standard false equivalence from you kicks in. The suggestions is Doherty will replace Lyon in the team today. If that comes to pass I reckon it's the wrong call. If they played side by side I could understand it better.

have you forgotten the 2 tests he played? he is rubbish
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

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'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

Awta. That's the absolute real travesty.

Doherty isn't really playing though is he?
