This time last year, KFC had the Aussie Burger and the English Burger to promote the Ashes. They could have brought in an Indian Burger.

And the pie isn't the worst thing they've sold this year, remember when we could buy nachos from KFC.

He's non-threatening insofar as he bowls the same type of ball everytime.

It took a massive deflection off Pujara's inner thigh and back onto the stumps.
Have you even been watching?
If this isn't good off-spin bowling, I don't know what is.

Did you miss all the false strokes he made him play prior to that which contributed to the wicket or...?

As an offie he's bowling the perfect line and length to the right handers, I guess McGrath was innocuous too because he kept hitting the same areas?

Strange comment, he's been positively dangerous.
McGrath hit the same spot bowling at 135+ and had the ability to move the ball in either direction.

Poor comparison.

Agreed. Be interesting to see whether he stays at number 6 though. He is a superstar in the waiting.
I think he moves up the order. Maybe to 4 or 5 where he has time to bat out a whole innings without worrying about batting with the tail

That isn't the point. What has Murali been doing? Isn't he the spin coach? Teach him how to bowl a few variations. I struggle to see how hard that is.
Maybe they should get you in mate? Obviously a talent if you reckon you can get more out of Lyon than Murali.

Maybe 5. We do have a lot of number 3 and 4's coming through. That said he is a perfect 6, where he commands a spot as a number 6 bat. Needs to convert though- hundreds.

what has it got to do with cricket and your post liking the sight of players getting hit on the head after what just happened
It was the best ball of the day! What is wrong with a good bumper that hits a bloke in the helmet? You realise we are not playing tiddlywinks here...

I just dislike when people just look at the figures with out the understanding of the match that was played
Rod Marsh seems to have that mentality. When naming the squad for this series he noted that despite the the wicket column and over all figures indicating otherwise, that he thought Johnson and Siddle bowled quite well (I did quote him on it at the time) in what was very batsmen friendly conditions. Not too dissimilar to this match.
