Is this the last series for Lyon for Australia? I realise they don't have any other spinners worth selecting, but heads tend to roll when this type of performance happens.

He's about the only 40 year old around in international cricket.

Thought he got some bat on those four byes, too.

 

[irfan]

Is Misbah the fittest 40 year old around in the cricketing world?

Yep. The only one I can think of in that age bracket is Chanders, and he's fitter than him.

 

[Teja.]

17 balls, 26 runs. It's becoming harder and harder for Pakistan.

reminds me a bit of the indian tour of late 2010 after which hauritz was axed. fully expect xavier doherty to be in the 17 man squad for the gabba

Bring back vintage tossing-it-up South Australia Lyon! Or O'Keefe.

Never been a huge fan of Lyon, felt he took gift wickets rather than hard ones.. at least Hauritz tended to take one or two good wickets a match. Doherty really doesn't have the flight or guile to do the job at test level, but at least he's not Lyon.

When are they going to declare? It was entertaining for a while but now getting tedious

Kerry O'Keefe said on radio yesterday he reckons Fawad will get picked for the Gabba

Location: Australia.

Both guys are in touching range of a century, the sooner your bowlers stop bowling short and wide simply to try stop being spanked, the sooner the declaration will come.

Big surprise dermo listens to 2GB...

Hisham: "its a slow start for india considering the pitch curator said that it is a 280 runs pitch. Someone needs to do a misbah here."

Lol. Taken from India-SL comments thread on Cricinfo

 

[DriveClub]

Fawad isn't any good, we should just play 4 quicks

 

[DriveClub]

And ask Smitteh and Warner to improve their leggies

 

[Blocky]

Misbah now unlikely for fastest tonne, shame - negative bowling tactics from Aus.
