Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3337056, member: 9651"] Agree he is consistent but I don't think he's always a wicket taking threat. His economy is basically 3RPO, again he will be the second highest economy for bowlers with 400+ test wickets, only better than Dale Steyn. While he doesn't offer up pies, he very rarely maintains the pressure in terms of dot balls. Batsmen have never struggled to rotate strike against him, which is annoying when you have a strike bowler up the other end. Of our bowlers, Lyon is by far the most targeted. Against the Indians he was their whipping boy. That works for him in that batsmen are taking risks and naturally he will pick up wickets, especially against lower order players trying to score quickly. I personally think it should have been SOK all along. His numbers are far superior to Lyon's and always were. I would love to see Swepson get a go, his numbers are very similar to those Lyon had when he was first picked and we will never really know how good he could be if he doesn't get a shot. Don't watch enough shield these days to comment on the young crop coming through. I just know I have watched Lyon for long enough to know we can do better. [/QUOTE]
