Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3209635, member: 8423"] Of course Lyon is in the same boat as is any spinner not named Shane Warne, it is a moot point. Additionally, Mike Hussey did not play as many tests as Clarke did and Hussey's average was on the steady decline by the time he retired. Has he played the extra 35-40 tests Clarke did, his average may have been lower anyway. The point is, both great players but in comparison to Bradman or Steve Smith, both fall far short. Lyon is a great player but in comparison to Warne, it is a no contest. I don't think anyone claims or has claimed Lyon is Australia's greatest spinner, that would be stupid. He is however Australia's greatest offspinner, arguably at worst. [/QUOTE]
