I reckon he was finished 30 years ago , by then we’d all heard all his stories about how great he was about 6 times. Supposedly we’ve got the climax to a great series today and Chappelli is going on about stiff that happened 50 years ago and that he was a great baseballer . Malcom Blight and Bernard Tomic the only Australians to match his self opinion
Always liked him on the TV, something of a Robert Walls vibe with a bit of edge. The way he talks now suggests he's forgotten what he was like when he was younger. Captain of the Ugly Australians etc.
Exactly what I was talking about.
Yep.
Warney going on about the lack of an offside bat-pad when Lyon bowls to Pujara, having got him out there a few times. He makes a fair point, but Pujara should already be out. That LBW was plumb, smashing into leg stump. I reckon if you kick the ball away you lose the benefit of the doubt, especially with the chance to review.
Good review by Paine. The one against Rahane last Test was shown to be "umpire's call" as well. Blocker Wilson should have learnt his damn lesson. Give it!
Paine doing well to bite his tongue. If I were keeping stump mic would have picked up a stray "use your bat, ya weak *smile*" or three.
Starc being treated with disdain. Another 50 between these two at the current rate and an Indian win is in the frame.
Gill replacing Shaw has been largely responsible for turning this series around.

Even if a miracle happens , I still think we lack genuine talent outside of the obvious, plenty have had there chances overtime, but it’s bloody hard to be a world class batsman averaging over 45 . IMHO Lyon has always been good , not great , not his fault but the “ goat” moniker is a bit of an insult to all the other goats in the world . Has there ever been a greater match winner/ spud then Starc , when his on wowee. Plenty to like about the Aussie test team , just the glaring weaknesses need to replaced , this series has not convinced me about Langer and the selectors . Going to be a bloody good side for a few years to come India .Just over a month until footys back
The lack of faith in Lyon today is revealing. He simply doesn't build pressure by bowling enough balls in the right area. Ravi Ashwin would have been bowling from one end a lot of the day.
They haven't had a lot of luck but Paine isn't the greatest strategist either.

Full credit to the Indians they’ve been fantastic this series given the players unavailable.
Huge blow. Was almost swayed to barrack for India. Smith the consummate pro at slip.
Gill averaging over 50 in his first series, away from home. 21yo and seemingly with a huge future.
