Banger of a day yesterday. Elite performance from both sides.

I'd say it's pretty even at the moment. This morning's session will be fascinating.

Shame about the weather but I'm glad it they didn't come back out. I was worried we were going to see a few dismissals in succession.

nowayhosay@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 3y

If both were match fit I'd say, on this wicket, they're just about even. Ali, however, is anything but match fit. I rather doubt we'll see much of him in the last innings.

nowayhosay@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

agreed, do you think Ali's batting figures makes him the better overall player? or is it Lyons steadfast goat as australias best spinner

Weirdmusic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

It's definitely about the spin, Lyon is a solid tailender and Ali can go the tonk at times but I do wonder if there could have been a better option to go with
