Think he wanted to hand it over to someone younger, he had done it for long enough.

Can;t believe what he just did. :ph34r:

What an idiotic run out. On the plus side I've been in conversation with Alex Tudor about it (I say conversation, I mean tweet-ersation). Took me back to his 99* against New Zealand. What a champ.

He's no Tim Munton

This is a pleasure to watch a fast bower on his debut a bees dick away from a hat-trick. But a 3 wicket maiden cleaning up the top order is amazing. 4/1 off 5 overs on debut is the reason why i've been wanting him in the side.

Didn't he get MOTM in the end?

He did, which makes in the last 2 test matches an 18 yr old quick and a 21 yr old quick MOTM. Suddenly we are looking like we might have something to look forward to in the future.

Was a bit surprised that they didn't bring him on to bowl to the tail so he could have a chance to get 6-7 wickets.

How would you say Lyon is doing as spinner? I think it's fair to say that's been a bit of a problem position since Warne retired!

A problem is a bit of an understatement. A lot of that comes from the selectors not willing to back a player for a long period of time, they did it with Hauritz and then when he was showing signs of consistency they dropped him before the ashes. The good thing so far is they seem prepared to give Lyon some time and stick with him about to play his 6th test in a row. He is only 24 and plucked from virtual obscruity (had only really played 20/20 cricket ) but bowls with a lot of maturity. I like him he can turn the ball and builds pressure well his no warne but is a solid spinner. I think he will be our spinner for the next 10 years But then again how many times do you see a spinner burst on to the scene and have a great first 12-18 months and then do sweet F.A after that.

Also any of you knowledgable cricket buffs on here know when the dates for the 2013 Ashes come out? I'm thinking it will be a cracking series and may make an apperance.

Hahaha would be surprised to see Mitchell Johnson play test cricket again so it's a possibility.

2 Tests and 2 5 wicket hauls for you Jimmy Patto not bad for a bloke who's previous best was 4 wickets in first class cricket. He will also be on a hat-trick when he bowls next innings.

Not the greatest opposition though

Agreed but you can only beat who is put in front of you and whilst where in a rebuilding phase, to have young bowlers taking wickets and getting great experience.

How is Phil Hughes still playing for Australia? I think i'd rather have Chris Martin batting for my team than him with the way he's playing.

Hughes has one of the worst techniques i`v ever seen... Awful...

Aus 75-7 btw :giggle:
