Haha, can't stand him. Always looks like getting out and before you know it he's passed 100.

Perhaps in a sense he doesn't deserve that much credit, it's not as though he bowls particularly cleverly or accurately
However I certainly think some people are terribly blind to not see the rare combination of talents he was obviously born with

The Midge Johnson of batting.

Some blokes are just lucky as well. Not that they don't have talent/ good attributes, just that they have a knack of getting wickets.
Botham used to do it all the time. He was a fine, fine bowler, but he'd get wickets with **** balls that would normally be put away.

Many bowlers get wickets based mainly in natural-born gifts. This isn't a basis for criticism, I reckon. So it's not as cerebral a method as others. Clearly he has no need for all that.

Yeah, after ripping a few out-swingers away from the bat a lot of the time. Hence, point. Sometimes it's the stuff between the wickets. Like the menschkeit of bowling.

FFS Lawry you hypocritical bastard, how many times were Australia on 18 after 9 overs when you were opening the batting?!
His constant digs at touring teams for their early scoring rates (of all things) wouldn't be quite so bad if he was a dasher or something, even though they would still be unfounded. For all the talk about how bad Healy and Nicholas are, I'd take them ahead of Lawry every day of the week.

Best thing about Hawkeye is that batsmen realise that they can't just lunge forward and think that they're not out. Smith very lucky.
Pace bowler hits a batsman on that spot, he's out every time. But because it's a spinner, "Good decision."

I love Bill Lawry tbh

If by "before you know it" you mean "16 days later" then yes.

No way. Bill is nowhere near as biased as he used to be. Gets legitimately excited even when opposition sides are taking wickets (i.e. yesterday from the highlights I saw when I got home).

At very least, they should keep him out of the commentary box when Australia are bowling.
