Given how much he had to work with with those foot marks outside offstump (and the lack of restrictions in terms of field settings) I think Lyon bowled totally trash from the point where Sundar hooked Cummins for 6 onwards. He just completely lost his cool in that final period of play. To be fair though, Pant was batting incredibly, especially his repeated swipes through midwicket from way outside the line of offstump.
Haha yeah all Australia had to do to win the series was break a partnership between a bowler in his second Test who averages 16 in FC cricket, and a 21 year old debutant allrounder who hasn't played FC cricket in three years, for like... less than 75 runs.
There is probably a catch-all section under the Law 42: Conduct, but my guess is that it's only a reporting mechanism without any on field penalty. So players can get dinged after the game and fined/suspended, but nothing will be enforced on the field.
Ima let you finish but Shardul Thakur had one of the most alpha moments of all time, all time!:
Completely agree. Lost his head and thus his line entirely.
this dude wrote another disaster piece not too long ago didn't he? can't quite recall what it was.Huh, we've finally learned Pratters true identity and it's Mark Reason.
Mark Reason: Australia's cricket loses honour in shameful short bowling assault on India

Fc average of 15 wtf
Pull away? No sir. Unless I'm mistaken a full strength India team recently got white washed in NZ. India's bowling is at an atg level but their batting (outside of India) still needs plenty of work. India fixes its batting frailties outside the Sub continent, and their well on their way to being an atg team. For now, India is atg at home and good away.
Nah, I'd like the game to retain it's old school toughness.
He played a very similar shot in an ODI once after I'd spent all day questioning the idea that he'd been picked partly for batting because his record was so ****.
Hes written plenty of ATG bad ones but the one tiny baby piece was the most recent

He was cited in the amazon doc as the most nervy player in the side. Lost his cool and fumbled the run out during Headingly too.
I don't even want to read this after the first few paragraphs but I don't think this was the one.Hes written plenty of ATG bad ones but the one tiny baby piece was the most recent
Mark Reason: What comes first, one tiny baby or a whole nation?
OPINION: Should I go, or should I stay? Captains Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli choose the same answer to an age-old question.
I don't think Aus were too bad tbh
Lyon really only lost the plot after that 13 run over. All 6 balls were outside off, but Pant hit two of them for 4 through leg and Paine missed one for 4 byes.
It was actually Daemon. I said I suspected Thakur's batting might be "a myth" and compared him to Umesh. Daemon told me he'd played some useful cameos in the IPL, but with a HS of 22 and an average of 7 in that I wasn't having it. Then he came out and played a shot like that at the end of the ODI innings.
Huh, we've finally learned Pratters true identity and it's Mark Reason.
