I'm going to go out and say Doherty couldn't be any more disappointing than what Lyon was. That's not to say he should be playing obv.
Said that during the 4th day of the first test, especially if this pitch is similar he might do better.

Maxwell though, hehe.
Yes he could have been. That's an absurd observation. Doherty isn't anywhere near the long form bowler Lyon is.

Dear God, Maxwell. It's awful. The Cameron White of this generation.

Lyon has been bowling absolute puss and balls the last 10 months. Lyon is a better long form bowler than Doherty, but Doherty has been bowling as useful as Lyon has been in the last 10 months, that's just how **** he's been bowling. If you choose to believe it or not because it may damage your argument of Swann < Lyon is your decision.

i doubt Doherty will go for more runs than Lyon but there is no way Doherty gets Tendulkar or more than 4 wickets in the game for that matter

Well last time I checked Doherty has taken 2 FC wickets this summer at 80 odd and can't get a run for Tassie. Has nothing to do with the Swann thing, you're selling Lyon massively short if you think he's been as bad as Doherty in long form cricket.

I'd still prefer him to play in the side ahead of Maxwell mind you.

In 80 overs of bowling on a big turning wicket I'd definitely expect Doherty to take four wickets. That's not good though by any stretch of the imagination.

In what post did I say Doherty is as good a long form bowler as Lyon? If you think Lyon's last game was anything but a horrible failure then I just don't...
