Lyon looked a completely different bowler today from the 1st innings. Apart from Green, looked easily Australia's most likely.
Yeah easily the best he's looked all summer. Could be as simple as that the low pitches of the previous games nullified him and he was still rebuilding his long-term bowling rhythm.

Drawing a long bow there.
Great reflexes by Head.
You didn't hear a million times "he's not trying to get advantage therefore he shouldn't be out"? He wasn't trying to get advantage there, thus according to the imbeciles which constitute the English print media, he's not out.

Entirely different context and you know it. Both were out and the English media went over the top. However, even they would see the difference.

But if we're going to hold that as a reason to rule out legitimate dismissals then we need to do it consistently. So that would be not out, which is ridiculous.

Otherwise we're left with the conclusion that it was a rationale entirely made up of thin air to manufacture controversy. Which it was.
