Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3094443, member: 9651"] There's a good reason he's our 'greatest ever off-spin' bowler and its simply because our conditions and pitches aren't suited to it and our history suggests we don't tend to produce off-spinners. Our greatest ever spinners have all been leggies (Warne, MacGill, Benaud, Grimmett and not one of them averaged 30+ with the ball in either Australia or test cricket in general). For a long time I thought Lyon was quality and I haven't really had an issue with him until I dived deeper into his statistics. Sure, he may be a great bloke and add to the bowling unit as a valuable character around the dressing sheds but for me there will be serious question marks as to his legitimacy as one of Australia's great spin bowlers. His record just doesn't stack up no matter which way you spin it (pun intended). [/QUOTE]
