Not sure why anyone would have thought Rogers would be a failure, but regarding Lyon being a good bowler, well I can't explain why so many Aussie supporters harbour that delusion

As much as I love Bailey, I just think he has burned his test credit. I don't see him getting a test recall.

He's a bit unlucky tbf. He only played that one series against England and was ordinary but had a couple of decent innings cut short with declarations and an unlucky catch. He was rightfully dropped though and I doubt he'd even be that much better than Mitch Marsh as a batsman alone.
Pretty funny that people are thinking he would have been a good selection for this tour.

I don't know about you, but when I hear a grandfather ginger who can't see is drafted into the Test team I wouldn't blame some people for being a bit skeptical.
Which part is the reason for being skeptical? Grandfather or ginger? I think ginger edges it

Just wondering the same brigade of posters who say Australia's batsmen's stats are inflated because they play on roads must think Hazlewood and Lyon and ATG bowlers already averaging low 20s with the ball on those same roads
ftr IMO Lyon is absolutely ****

I've said this so many times, "statistics in wins" are the worst kind of stats because they lead to some ridiculous conclusions.
Not in the case of Fatty though. Wag!

don't really see how this is relevant

The stats posted were statistics in wins. Seems pretty relevant that he should comment on the usefulness of them.

Myself, the biggest problem we have is that we're expecting Lyon to be a world-beater when he plainly isn't, rarely dominant when you'd think he should be but nor is he out of the attack for long. Bloke is the already the best performed offie Oz has ever produced and, unless you're buying what the O'Keefe fans are selling (I'm not), he's still the best choice for the Test side with the bowlers around him.
Mind you, talking too much about the bowlers seems somewhat pointless when you consider how utterly tragic the batting has been for quite a few years now. Just about every Test failure for the last decade is and should be laid squarely at their feet.
