Exactly Lyon or any other night watchman don't deserve to bat at three as these so called "batsman", we have in the team should go and do what their paid to do. Honestly at moment, it really doesn't matter who bats at three or any other position for that matter because none of them are deserving of their batting positions at the moment, let alone being in the team. Every single one of them have been pathetic to put it nicely. 1 hundred and only 3 or 4 50's in two tests is terrible batting, when compared to the Pakistan batting or just in general. Especially when 1 of those 50's came from Mitchell Johnson.
Lyon and Rogers are the only two of our batsmen (and let's face it, in our team the bowlers pull more than their weight regularly with the bat) who are temperamentally suited to not getting bored when not playing shots. Which is useful quality in a number 3. So I had no problems with seeing him there.

Well I got to watch the Aussies beat the Barbarians at Twickenham yesterday in a fine, fast-running game and Warriors are doing well against Tassie at the WACA, so I can just about stomach the shenanigans going on in the UAE. Withouth those two things, I might feel a little differently.

We selected Maxwell over Hughes because of his bowling right?
Maxwell was always going to be chosen before Hughes as he's better against spin, or that's what I would have thought. I thought they should have kept the same team as the first test, but hey, result probably would have been the same anyway.
