2nd Test: Australia v Pakistan at Melbourne on Dec 26-30, 2016

[8Ball]

Pakistan panicking

run out there would have been handy

 

[mave]

Lol. I can feel a run-out on the cards here

You're the one saying that SOK has to somehow prove he's better without ever being able to do that by your brain-dead system of "proof". Us normal folk are simply saying he deserves a genuine chance because Lyon has been very poor for some time now. Its ok if that's too complicated for you

No. You're saying he IS better. But you have f**k all to support that. I've said that if O'Keefe outplays him next week he can say he deserves the spot. He's going to get a chance, most likely, just like he did in Sri Lanka, where he didn't take more wickets than Lyon. But right now he hasn't got the credentials to displace a bloke who has been the best spinner we've got for some time. He's not as good as we'd like but that isn't relevant. Any words you need to look up in that? What about my syntax? Lol.

ECT always goes from a standing start to 100 kph in the space of 2 posts.

Have a snickers mate

 

[Hutty1986]

Come on boys, lets f**k off Sarfraz now.

Edit: I appreciate that, Mr Starc.

 

[_snafu_]

Oh yeah!

 

[Twizzle]

Staaaaaaarcy

 

[umina panther]

good call

 

[8Ball]

Great bowling

Is there a stat for how many dismissals Lyon doesn't have because of incompetent keeping? I'd love to know that one.

 

[mave]

Onya Starcy !!!

Millions.

 

[Bazal]

No. You're saying he IS better

No, you've wrongly assumed that advocating for Lyon to be dropped is saying that SOK is better, instead of understanding that it means I believe Lyon hasn't been good enough and the man with the best first class record in Australia over the past decade deserves a proper chance. Everyone else got it, what does that say about you?

Anyway you're clearly never going to understand this very simple concept so believe what you want.

Go Ironman, great delivery. He'll rip though them here

Tremendous bowling change from young Smithy

I'd say the realistic number is around 30. Wade missed about 20 on that Indian tour alone

 

[Sphagnum]

Starc looks buggered. Probably has a dead arm still. Great effort.

So his series is shit on paper but the reality is he bowled well but got let down by the fielders.

When somebody says 'stats don't tell the whole story' this is exactly what they're talking about.

Panicstan absolutely woeful this innings. And as a bowling unit in Australia's innings. Seemed to me they got it in their mind that the game was going to be a draw and just went through the motions from there.

Australia have bowled well but not so well that they may win by an innings.
