Guessing you're referring to the lack of a leg slip and then him moving it in after a ball goes there. They've been hitting it there all series.

I hope he embraces the intent and gets cartwheeled trying to mow Starc into the stands over mid-wicket.

Yep. I don't, like, hate the lack of leg slip but ffs, if you're going to have one, have one before he hits it there. I wonder how much of Lyon's ineffectiveness is down to the cookie-cutter mindlessness of the plans he's had to work with.

If Lyon's gonna bowl a straight line, as he has been doing, may as well set the field for it.

Perhaps interesting that Lyon under Smith averaged three less than he does under Paine but had a higher economy rate.

He does have a T20 century to his name...made just a couple of years ago I think.

Did Gill wink at the ball as it raced away for four there?

It'd still be pretty bad imo.

He's trying to hit the crack Cummins hit earlier in the day.
So far no good; he's either not accurate enough or the crack isn't making the ball misbehave as he thought it would. Should go back over the wicket and just bowl normally IMO.

Can't see it unless he bowls that magic ball to Vince off a crack which he did a few years back

Haha that little segment was particularly hypnotising for some reason. Probably because she wasn't actually saying anything.

I do seem to remember Clarke trying to push Lyon to get it outside off more by setting fields that would encourage him to do so. I think the straighter line Lyon used to take gave him the shits. Paine may just have set the field poorly, but he may also not have wanted Lyon to be pushing it down leg.
On a fifth day wicket where there's a hint of turn, spending a bit of time tossing it up outside off isn't the worst idea. Lyon seems to take more encouragement to do so than most.
