If Lyon was an Indian he wouldn't get into a club team.

Excellent opinion

I find Lyon to be quite one dimensional. In a stronger era he would be getting hammered.

Yes we know your opinion is that this era inherently sucks for everyone. It's nonsense, but we've done that.

Lyon is fine. Nothing great, but perfectly serviceable.

Serviceable- yes, good....yes............but not as good as many people think he is.

I have huge respect for Lyon . He is one of the reasons 2017 BG trophy was so good.

 

[CricAddict]

this is satire right? or are people really this gullible on the internet

It is fun to be gullible, man.

Unlike your face or your posts.

 

[Sunil1z]

Also in 2014 BG trophy (Adelaide Test) and 2018 BG Trophy (Perth Test) he was the match winner .He is a very good spinner.

Especially his face.

But especially his posts.

5 spinners played in that series including Lyon and Lyon was the 5th best spinner in that series.

No, he wasn’t. He was at par with Ashwin in that series . Jadeja was the best spinner in that series and Okeffe was the 4th best .
If Lyon had a bowling partner in Jadeja , Aus would have won that series.

Careful, people will start thinking you are Indian and not South African.

Yeah if he had a doosra he'd be very very hard to play.

For a very orthodox offie in an era where most spinners have one which goes the other way, he's done pretty well.

enjoying cribb's work in the last page or so but "dispicable"? seriously?

He wants to chuck a disc at anyone who suggests Lyon is bad.

rubbish. Everyone knows she's a South African underwear model whose ex-boyfriend stole her photos and put them in advertisements on the internet

Nope.

He's easily the best Aussie spinner behind Warne of the last 30 years in Australia and that includes Macgill.

He puts far more work on the ball than Colin Miller who took 70 test wickets @ 26 with an ER of 2.90. Who clearly never got hammered in an extremely strong shield era.

The likes of Hauritz and Krezja? Forget it.

Lyon's biggest weapon is overspin thats especially effective on Aussie pitches and he's one of the best proponents of it ever. Almost all visiting spinners dont get anywhere the same amount of overspin on the ball, so aren't anywhere near as effective on the same pitches.

My opinion - I have MacGill ahead of Lyon.

Come on now let's not go overboard
