Wow, just wow, England were 75/2 when I last looked. Unbelievable collapse. Can't wait to see the highlights later !

And better seam position. And has got more out of this same surface. People laughed at me when I said Lyon got at least as many revs as Swann.
You can't read too much into one split screen, but his action does look a little better (rev meter confirmed Swann and Lyon were about the same in terms of revs in the winter)

This is a longshot, but there isn't 3 days worth of rain forecast in the Brisbane area is there?
At this time of the year you get late storms and some overnight rain, but no all day rain action usually. The exception was around the time of the last ashes where the five days of the ashes were the only dry days all summer.

Not sure how much stock to put into that rev-meter on Sky but it's the best we have I guess Lyon sometimes gives the ball a pronounced flick with his index finger that uses a bit of wrist. Ever since I saw that back during the tour of SL, I liked him.

A better seam position when trying to increase overspin*. Swann likes to vary between sliders and pure off-breaks.
