[Burgey]

It’s the way I feel too

Same

Don't understand this at all

It's 30 off 12 overs surely you take the new ball. There not gonna struggle to score at 2 and a half vs the old ball if they bat it out.

 

[honestbharani]

He's looked good defensively too though

I didn't see him bat in the first inning so will take your word but its also gotta be considered it was a roady road when he batted in the first inning.

 

[CartyDurham]

Lol

was that bat then helmet ?

 

[Spark]

Got Australia really close in a similar kind of test match vs India in the 2019 tour.

I don't remember this

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

There’s bat on that no?

 

[Saket1209]

the way lyon is playing !

 

[Fuller Pilch]

No I mean today. He's looked the best batsman behind Green in terms of being compact and busy.

Adelaide test I think. India won by 20 odd runs, it got real nervy at the end.

 

[Aidan11]

Is he concussed? Needs to go off retired injured.

Don't understand this at all

Broad on interview said the older the ball, the less easy to score on this pitch

however at this stage I would be taking it

 

[Saket1209]

still england game

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...alia-vs-india-1st-test-1144993/full-scorecard Think he's talking about this test, also made 63 here in the same tour https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...alia-vs-india-3rd-test-1144995/full-scorecard but didn't get close.

The few overs I saw him against Stokes and Root, he looked like he was jamming down at the last moment tbh. But if he has improved his defence or refound it, as he was a decent bat before, then good news for Australia.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah I thought it was bat but not clear on the replay. Same outcome I guess

 

[Saket1209]

it will definitely trouble the lower order

 

[Burgey]

He can’t help it. Even if he sets to defend, he’s a compulsive hooker

He’ll very likely get out to it but if he snots a couple it’s really dangerous

Renshaw bowls offies. Concussion sub
