Agree...Lyon or Okeefe need to play for balance....although England will probably play Ali as their only spinner with Root as their 2nd part timer ...

No problem getting away with it with the pace. Extreme pace works even on flatter tracks. Old West Indian theory, use your 4 best bowlers. When they are quick and good the pressure is enormous.

A heck of a lot of ticker shown today, they should take great confidence from batting a full day on a day pitch 5 versus Ashwin and Jajeda. Many Australian teams have folded in similar situations, but this one didn't. Continues the theme of good application.
Smith's captaincy yesterday might be questionable but Kohli should cop some serious flack as well... the conservative batting once India drew level was pathetic given the bowlers were cooked and gives the impression that India were crap scared to chase 150 on the last day... Australia should have been batting soon after Lunch on day 4, not with 8 overs left in the day.
SOS has scored a 50 in every test. Copped a bad one in the second innings of the second test. Very underated tour. Been pretty steady and not thrown his wicket away at 4.

Yeah....but even the Windies of that era would struggle a bit with the forced over rates these days. Can't get away with the sort of stuff they used to.

Is Maxwell injured?
If not, why isn't he bowling?

Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 03-26-2017
Smith is a conundrum, he fights so hard for his team when batting, then shoots it in the foot with his in-field tactics.
Lyon was bowling like a man possessed, there were four overs left in the day, so Smith took the new ball and removed Lyon from the attack. It's perplexing, it'd be like removing Lillee from the attack when he need one more wicket for the record!
It's almost like he doesn't want Lyon out there.

Henshaw dropped a sitter from the new ball, so you could back that decision. Plenty other egs about, though.

The ball was pretty dead. At some point you have to change the ball. Within 10 overs Lyon will have a much better ball to bowl with. The taking of new ball should have been vindicated but Renshaw dropped a soda off Cummins, which could be vital.

I'm officially over David Warner.
