That's a bit harsh, given our test spinners couldn't stick it on a length in India. I think the Australian spinners are doing the job England needed to squeeze India.

Ali, Dawson and Ansari where batting all rounders. Rashid was wild but bagged a few.

If the pitches where like this Ali would outbowl Lyon everyday of the week

Given the state of spin bowling for England since swann retired if you genuinely dont think he would be first choice for our team you cannot be thinking straight
 

[GoldenArm]

I'd play with 10 than have Lyon  in my side

Haha 😂 didn't realise you were a straight up troll. Control, revs, wickets.  Can't ask more from a spinner than that.

It's not a bad score till both teams bat.... Let's see the magic of Ashwin and Jadeja on this wicket

You're right, Aussies need as many as we can get in this first dig. balls starting to roll in this first over.

Australia have got their tactics right as well. You need finger spinners in India and a good left armed finger spinner. They are staying patient and concentrating on bowling tightly, not getting carried away with the spin. Why the England brains trust picked two offies and a leggy, then left our best left arm finger spinner at home I'll never know.

[Felix Tito]

Ha Ha what a clown, admitting you are wrong would be much easier than continuing to show your lack of knowledge.

Lyon is a bum, fluked a career instead of sticking to his job of being a bin man

Getting slapped silly by Pakistan and South Africa just a few months ago. Lyon is pony

Even as a seasoned convict basher myself

Lyon would walk into our team as 1st choice spinner as ours are poor

Who is out best SLA?

Probably still Panasar!

[roco]

I like look of Dawson

Nothing special but but if gilo about him

[csnew]

Kohli's seen Lyon take 8 wickets so he starts with 2 seamers. Aussies must be loving it

Yes...but not really because he dont play much i think he is still out of contract
Of the current left armers its got to be samit patel. By miles and miles!

The fact monty has not got his career back on track cannot please any England fans.its a shame.

Kohli probably feeling pity on the bin man...Letting Lyon savour his flukey achievement

You must be the troll formerly known as Gerry SA. Surely, it must be true.
