Starc 4th most wickets for Aus.

Not bad for someone who's apparently terrible.

Edit: 5th, I blame 9

Yeah CH9 ****ed that

Didn’t think it sounded right so checked

Fifth behind Warne, McGrath, Lyon and Lillee is still a fair effort for someone that cops a lot of shit about his bowling

 

[matthew_s]

**** YES

 

[Keys]

Oh Mitch you beautiful bastard

 

[Mulldogg]

Then he produces an absolute jaffa like that. The Starc Paradox

Captain Planet ****s England

 

[matthew_s]

So, about this bazball shite.…

 

[Farang83150]

BUT BAZ BALL...

 

[MrWoollie]

So we'll be without Lyon for the third test.

For England I can't see Ollie Pope's shoulder coming good and Stokes is bowling himself to breakdown.
He might make it but if he does there's every chance of doing some real damage and missing the rest of the series.

I’m assuming it’s some well known Test cricket rule that the traditionalists are going to love pointing out to me but why was Lyon out there batting with a strained calf? Why couldn’t he be subbed out with injury?

the only reason you can sub a player out is for concussion.

 

[matthew_s]

Man, that should be out. ****ing bullshit

 

[squashface]

Is that not beyond stupid though?

Why on earth is concussion the only reason you can sub someone out?

 

[kane249]

Can't even use a runner after that fat prick Ranatunga used to abuse the rules

 

[DanWCE]

Action packed night of cricket. Looks like I turned it off just before Green holed out. Probably for the best or I would've been up all night

Just saw the footage of Lyon limping and hopping to make a single.

Why is this a normal thing I am stunned.

To try and stop players being pressured to play through concussion.

 

[squashface]

To try and stop players being pressured to play through concussion.

But being pressured to play through any other injury is all good

Pietersen was suggesting the Lyon batting decision was made with the possibility of him being struck on the head by a bouncer and subsequently replaced under concussion substitution rules.
