Looks like Lyon finally has an arm ball / slider.. anyone watching the series recall them breaking down how he does it? I have access to the full replay on willow, so if I know roughly when they did the video analysis (if at all), I can easily go look it up.. would be much appreciated!

Is this on to in the UK?

Can't find it. Glad to see it's not just England struggling at the moment against average competition.
Ashes could resemble those two drunk blokes in the pub hopelessly swinging and missing at each other.

England : greeaat , youu wannnt ush too geet shome chiips toouuo ?
Result : 5 days of stodgy cricket and a draw .

Australians being poor in subcontinent shocker. Current highlights have included Wade dropping an absolute sitter and Smith/Maxwell with brilliant brainfades
-
I kinda want to see Aus vs Eng on a raging dustbowl of a Turner.
-
And a brainfade from Mushfiqur. Ah.
-
Good spell from Lyon to be fair, put the Aussies back in it a little more. Not going to be an easy chase though.
-
About time warner got some runs on the subcontinent!
-
@Felix Tito sent me a message to tell you guys that Lyon is not good enough to be in his club side , and that Lyon is the worst spinner ever to play international cricket.... and his performance today just proves him right (as always). :D
-
How did the aussies manage to lose that!
-
I think read before the game that Shakib needed a five for against Aus to complete the set against all test playing nations, looks like he has done it
-
Great game , great finish . Well done Bangersandmash ! Oz didn't disgrace ourselves , but we have the same ol same ol problems in the subcontinent. Usman Khawaja being top of the list .
-
i reckon hilton cartright is so rubbish with the ball.... if oz wanted to play 3 spinners we should have kept khawaja in the side and used wade as our second seamer (while handscomb took the gloves while wade bowls). wade is quicker than cartright , probably better too.
-
Khawaja averages 14 and a half in Asia.

Fair play to Bangladesh - recent Test wins over England and Australia
Would love to see them take the next step and start winning a few away from home
-
England drew the series away from home against Bangladesh which I thought at the time was a great result.
I would argue the opposite senario for a while to be honest.how about this?
Any new test side, so Bangladesh and I believe soon to be Ireland...get to play on the own conditions for the early part of their test status.so all teams play them away, and all teams must do in rotation.
Cancel out the financial pie disgrace between Australia India and us and spread the game. That gives home fans the chance to see their team.
Let's say hypothetically ....and I know this is a stretch......Kenya get test status...they get to play at home for the first few years.
Only then can cricket be a really global game and the ridiculous suggestion that you need two divisions can be binned as a stupid idea.becuae the two division argument is rich v poor-that's all it is.
Just a thought :)

KENYA?! What have you been vaping?

Absolutely agree Sir.
Why have 10 people turn up to Durham to watch Eng vs. Ban/Zim (Might get a crowd for Ire)
When you can fill a stadium in Dhaka/Bulawayo/Malahide
Not only does it make logistical sense, it makes financial sense too where 20% of 3000 packed house away series takings is better than 80% of 1 man and his dog.
-
Doesnt work for me to only let teams play games at home
They either want test status or they dont. Should be home and away fixtures across the board
Im sure the new test players would say the same if you told them they wouldnt be travelling to Lords, Adelaide, Wanderers etc but would carry on playing at the same home grounds they've played at for the last 10 years vrs the affiliates that they've worked so hard to leave behind
-
I think the best thing you can do for the fledgling test sides is actually play against them ! None of this crap like oz not playing in Bangladesh since 2011 or 2009 or whenever it was . We haven't had them in Australia since mid year tours where they were 'afforded the luxury' of playing in darwin and cairns . Same as Zimbabwe, who i know have had their troubles recently , but I'm sure heath streak was still around the last time they were in Australia. Not goood enough ! Play them home and away more often . If Zimbabwe only ever play bangladesh and the west indies and affiliates then they'll never improve beyond a certain point .
Also , we need to get pakistan back playing true home tests asap. That will not only help their cricket and finances , it will help everyone else too . Afghanistan could play some 'home' games in Pakistan too (if pakistan was able to host international cricket) instead of in india .
Aganistan should be played by any touring party heading to play pakistan , sri lanka , bangladesh , or india . Similarly , Ireland should be get a test or two before any nation tours england (or even the windies) ... this is the least we can all do .

Handscomb looks dead
That was a phenomenal effort by Handscomb. He had his 'dean jones in madras' moment and made it to stumps . What a champion . He did look in serious trouble a few times . When he bent over and had two foot of meucus hanging out of his nose wasn't a pretty moment either . Hope he gets his ton tomorrow.

Showing the rest of the Australian players what it means to wear the "baggy green" no words just actions on the field.

warner got to his 20th test ton, when is he going to be considered alongside Steve smith? Is he going to get to that level?

Same amount of test centuries as Mark Waugh. 13th on the all time Ozzie century list, 33rd on the all time international century list.
He can't be far away from being a modern great of the game surely?

Think I need to head to Bangladesh and bat for a couple of hours,would save me on slimming world fees...

Smith averages almost TWENTY runs more - that is an insanely large gap.

It is when you round up 13 to 20!
Smith also rarely has to face the new ball, Warner's only ever not opened 3 times. Not saying he's a better player, just that averages don't tell the whole story. Otherwise Voges is better than both!

I think runs in the subcontinent and more ashes centuries have been the missing link in him being deemed 'great' . Two centuries in Bangladesh will help, now he just needs a good series or two in other subcontinental destinations , then perhaps another ashes ton or two (particularly one in england) and he should be there .
-
Nathan Lyon just got his 5th wicket for the 2nd innings, i think that makes 24 in two tests . Oh , Felix , Felix , wherefore art thou Felix ? @Felix Tito ..... I have some humble pie cooling on the window sill if you're interested! :D :D :D

Having previously dismissed Lyon as a clubbie - a view I still believe was entirely accurate for his performance at that stage - I have to say he has developed massively over the last eighteen months. He is getting more revs on the ball, and wickets are coming as a result.

his subtle variations are near perfect now. amazing progress.
