Nathan Lyon is absolute dog (No Swearing Please).

England Batsmen have batted like utter, utter donkeys.

The bowlers have been average, including Swann,

A side from Swann, who in this series looks like a pie chucker. Lyon's better than any other spinner England have.

Australia normally average 7-9 Tests per year.
South Africa 6-8 Tests per year.
India average 6-8 Tests per year
Pakistan average 6-8 Tests per year

So by process of elimination if Swann's playing more Tests than most other spinners, he'll take more wickets.

Not exactly rocket science...

Gerry, you make a lot of sense...always do, but why are you attempting to enlighten those that do not want to know?

The levels of ignorance on these forums is breath taking.

Well, Swanny has retired from all forms of cricket. Too early in my view.

Talking out of your (No Swearing Please) mate. End of.

England haven't batted well that's pretty obvious, but to say that's made Lyon look better than he is, is ridiculous. The Aussie bowling attack is as good as I've seen for quite a few years. A balanced mixture.

Respect Gerry? I am speechless! The guy slags off anyone who plays for England, however good they are...and everyone from SA and Aus can do not wrong!
The guy is so biased, that he will not even give credit where it's due! Stokes hits a decent ton, and not a word of saying, "well done" or even "he did ok". Oh no! It's the Aussie bowlers trying too hard and that's the only reason! Sorry, but with that pathetic statement, maybe we should all jump on that one! Hey, maybe the English bowlers went too hard at the Aussie batsmen and that's why they hit some tons!! By the way, I don;t believe a word of that cr@p! I actually say congratulations to the Aussies for outplaying the English in the field, with the bat and with the ball!
