Australia v Sri Lanka - 2nd Test - MCG Boxing Day

[Jim05]

This is one of those MJ spells where he can bowl the unplayable to any batsmen in the world, these spells keep getting him games but he doesn't do it often enough

Exactly
Why doesnt he bowl more consistantly?
Is unplayable when on but it isnt often enough

[dedja]

He's a bit like Thommo in that he seemingly has no idea where he is bowling it ...

[RustyCage]

Lyon gets one

[RustyCage]

Lyon has two!

All out for 156

Lost seven wickets in three quarters of a session

[locky801]

Lyon gets one

no two

[Dogmatic]

Nice to see some variation in flight from Lyon.

[Jim05]

5/99

aussies to be batting before stumps

Could be before tea

Good call

[locky801]

Fingers crossed for a Warner special

[mal]

SL 156

MJ 4/56 [14]
Mr Jack Bird 2/38 [13]
Peter Sizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzle 2/30 [8]
Watto 0/3 [3]
Lyon 2/23[5.4]

Makes the next rotation selection easy
MJ bowled 6 more balls than Mr Jack Bird, that qualifies him for rotation in the 3rd test

[Squids]

I told you all that they are average batsman. Can I get some "squids you were right" please.

[Media Park]

Pleasing lyon snaked a couple, but second time in as many starts jphnson has been robbed of a five-for when someone else cleaned up the tail.

[UK Fan]

Fingers crossed for a Warner/Hughes special

I would bat pup at 8/9 and only if required.

Bird should of played at WACA ahead of Hastings.

Mitch and Lyon both have bowling averages of 31.

[mal]

IF SL can bat exceedingly well in thier 2nd dig
Lyon to bowl 40 + overs at them
Then the selectors can rotate him out and select Adam Zampa !
