Ashes 2015

Lyon is getting tw*tted all over the shop :lol:

This is pretty impressive from Essex, that's a fairly strong Aussie bowling line up, keep them out in the field Essex and lets wait for Watson and Starc to pull up with injuries.....I think they are both pretty injury prone!

 

[whyteleafebee76]

If anyone is enjoying some Lyon watching today they will see that he now has 0 -136 off of 22 overs.

Ryan Harris announces his retirement from cricket. A quality bowler and for me England's chances have gone up slightly.

 

[LostBee]

I'd say they have gone up considerably...he is top class and will be a big miss for them.

Agreed but I wasn't sure how fit he would have been so didn't think he play more than three tests anyway.

I remember Swann implying this would happen shortly after he retiring. That Lyon would be different bowling over here. Let's hope he is right.

1-200 in the match, but The Aussies still win.

Ok quality when he bowled yes but completely injury prone. I think he may have been asked to retire. interesting that nearly 45% of his test matches he bowled in was against England. I personally think Harris retiring has no impact on the series ahead.

Starc IMO is probably currently the best fast bowler in world cricket. Superb WC and great IPL. Virat rates him highly.

Doubt Harris would have played with Hazlewood being in top form atm. Sad to see him go as he was world class.

How does Virat compare him to his nemesis Anderson?

Going back to Lyon, I think that he is a high quality off-spinner in the classical style which evolved after the change in the LBW law.
He has that lovely ball-on-a-string loop that the classy finger-spinners have.
I could be wrong but I wouldn't underestimate him.

He is a decent off spinner but personally I think we have given him too much respect previously. We must attack him in this series as if Clarke can't bowl him as much as he likes this will put pressure on their seamers.

Warner back being a pratt again. Thickest player on the circuit.

He would probably say he isn't as a mouthy **** like Anderson on the field

 

[super J]

Harris is still their only bowler with a proven test record in England and has an excellent record against Cook, Bell and Root.

I still think Australia will win but think it's going to be close.

I'd love to see the prat completely humiliated on and off the pitch all series. The man is a bully, complete embarrassment to his country and his parents!

I think hes utter ***** and we should target him personally hes there weak link.

 

[oldgreenfordian]

I think that England probably will target him and it will be interesting to watch.

 

[Cham]

Dislike Warner immensely but he's probably the best opener in all formats.

Great player though.

 

[Worthing Red]

Great player though.

But not a great human being. I know which one I would prefer to be.
