We need a review of the selectors. They don’t have the ability to recognise talent or ability. The game plan is horrendous and gave too many runs away to protect runs. Lyon out, Marnus out.
So Lyon DOESN’T do it again. Hasn’t bowled a team out in 2yrs but continuingly they pick him. Hasn’t spun many and a field that wouldn’t frighten an under 12 player. #SAvAUS
Is he a frontline spinner anymore? I’m not sure. As I’m trying to recall the last time he rolled a team.
• vs England (The Ashes 2025–26):
• Perth Test: 0/10 & DNB
• Adelaide Test: 2/70 (1st inn) & 3/77 (2nd inn)
• vs West Indies (2025): 3/75 & 3/42 in St. George's, Grenada
• vs Bangladesh (2026): 3/25 in North Queensland (Great Barrier Reef Arena) and 1/125
• vs South Africa (2026): 2/58 & 0/32 (Kingsmead) + 2/71
@sandylanceley Sandy, my question is why Lyon. The guy hasn’t bowled a team out in 2yrs. They keep dropping him every 3rd test and play part time spinners. Now Cooper is in, bowl him, Marnus, Head as part timers and play Boland. He’ll make more runs than Green.
@DavidDroui41784@Luke_Elvy Tell me you wouldn’t leave your employee for more $$$ and better conditions. They are all independent and should be able to play where they like if they have qualified. Like any job. The puppets are the PGAT. They’re forcing the DPWT.
@GOLF_com@RyderCupUSA They’ve relied on talent only. Some lower ranked players are better foursome players than higher ranked players.
The challenge is how do you find out.
