Could the massive gap between series end or extended the careers of the likes of Rogers, Haddin, Harris.
with the next series being in Dubai and pitches that take spin the last few shield games may be a chance for an O'Keefe, Ahmed etc to earn a spot on the tour.

I say bugger O'Keefe and Ahmed. Let the Blonde Don be our second spinner.
Personally, I think he shows enough talent with the ball, that if he really worked on it and had the right coach (hopefully Warne) to guide him, he could be quite effective.
The problem with Lyon is that although he was tighter than a hangman's noose this morning, he never really looked like getting any Saffers out, whereas I always felt that Smith gave us that chance. Sure, Smith will bowl a 4-ball or two in an over, and that can be remedied with more practice, but he has a good technique, good loop and puts enough work on the ball. Lyon, for the most part, is merely a containment bowler.
It would be good to see them both work with 4 pace bowlers, and keep them all fresh.

But within sight of tea, and having batted for just over two and half hours, du Plessis missed a perfectly flighted legspinner from Steve Smith, perhaps caught unawares by the fact Smith – who had already unveiled his full repertoire of full bungers and long hops – landed one with the first ball of his spell.
Get your hands off it fellas, not to be relied on. Agree with Jim

Agree the way he was used by Clarke this series is perfectly how he should be used.
