Kay.I know the context, was moreso taking a jab here.....
Given the other spinners in matches involving Lyon averages 61, while it's 41 for Warne; that's actually a pretty valid take. Not sure if I agree though, have to think about it.Kay.
Btw Lyon > Warne at home
No, I mean really.
These seem misleading. You've picked "home" in the filter instead of "Australia". The latter would actually show the numbers in Australia when these spinners played the same games.The record of spinners in home matches involving Warne

What if other spinners in Lyon's time were sh*t?No, I mean really.
Lyon averages 31 while other spinners do 61.
Warne averaged 26 while other spinners did 41.
Statistically, Lyon is actually better here.
Sadly, that's just very wild speculation; as is the fact that probably Indian spinners who played with Ashwin were probably good.What if other spinners in Lyon's time were sh*t?
Treating this as a linear thing is wrong. Warne excelling when others struggled is more impressive than Lyon merely being ok in a sea of ass.No, I mean really.

Comeon now, I am not treating it as linear. And be honest, Warne excelling when others struggled is definitely very impressive but Lyon doing good when others were incredibly horrendous is more impressive. FTR, I think Warne was better at home, but statistically speaking, Lyon is better here.Treating this as a linear thing is wrong. Warne excelling when others struggled is more impressive than Lyon merely being ok in a sea of ass.
True.#noticing
Less support? What? Ignoring this series he's constantly had Ash, Jadeja, Siraj, Shami, Yadav etc. It wasnt too long ago Indians here and in their media were boasting about Indias pace depth and strength. Now he doesn't have any support...sure.True.
Not saying he is better bowler but Bumrah has a equally good if not better record with less support and in an era where no other fast bowlers stood out
Still "less" support don't you think?Less support? What? Ignoring this series he's constantly had Ash, Jadeja, Siraj, Shami, Yadav etc. It wasnt too long ago Indians here and in their media were boasting about Indias pace depth and strength. Now he doesn't have any support...sure.
Compared to Marshall that's definitely less support. Overall, the support hasn't been half bad for most of his games though.Less support? What?
