Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[DJC]

Did you see a contest Jack?.......the worlds best batsman on paper made runs vs the worlds worst attack that had to bowl part time spinners to make the over rate happen....
I enjoyed Pattinson bowling...pace with reverse swing...thats worth seeing...
Nathan Lyon ..Aus best offie?.....not for me...I'd have Ashley Mallet ahead of him as a bowler and Mallet was a gun gully fielder as well

Lyon is our most successful off spinner in terms of wickets taken but I wouldn't say he's our best.  It's hard to compare players from different eras but I would rank Lyon 4th or 5th with Trumble, Mallett and Johnson ahead of him and Yardley fighting it out with him for 4th spot.

While it hasn't been much of a contest, there has been plenty of action and the home side doing well is always decent entertainment, particularly for young folk.  Hopefully, the Windies will be a little more competitive today.
