*Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

[Spark]

He's been fortunate to get such a long run in the Australian test team with not any real competition for his spot from other Aussie spinners.

Greg Matthews was quite a good off spinner too and a far better batsman than Lyon but his career was cut short when Shane Warne arrived.

This is complete nonsense

 

[thundaboult]

if there ever was a time for will young to become a star, this is it

 

[Spark]

Wait has he missed a full bunger there

 

[straw man]

Mmm that's big turn and bounce

(Not the lbw obv, though that must be missing leg)

 

[Spark]

That must be drifting way past leg stump

 

[King Kane]

Missing leg I think or I hope.

 

[Calm_profit]

Who has traumatized more Lyon or Keshav Maharaj in Newzealand?

 

[Flem274*]

I hope they need all the reviews they're burning later.

 

[morgieb]

I get why we reviewed both but being two reviews down is....worrying.

 

[Spark]

If that had bounced about two inches earlier than it would have been extremely interesting

 

[Julian87]

Should not lose a review for that.

 

[Spark]

Commentators don't know the LBW law

 

[Gob]

That was out for sure but no way of knowing

 

[Meridio]

I reckon with the turn and bounce in this pitch that would've gone past/over off stump even though it's so full

 

[morgieb]

NZ getting all the luck smh

 

[Spark]

That was out for sure but no way of knowing

It's hit him on the full. Both the decision and prediction are correct

lol wtf

 

[Spark]

lol wtf

Didn't you know, Nathan Lyon (500+ wickets at an average of 30) is about as good as Greg Mathews (60 wickets at 48)

 

[Calm_profit]

lol wtf

Boomer alert!

 

[King Kane]

Rachin having some luck, he needs to make the most of it.

lol wtf

If another great Aussie leg spinner like Warne came along do you think Lyon would have kept his spot? I doubt it.
