The Lyon is roaring.
The GOAT!!!

[roneel78]

Nathan Lyon(331) is only 24 wickets away from joining Dennis Lillee(355)in 3rd place in the list of leading wicket takers for Australia.
1.Shane Warne 708
2. Glenn McGrath 563
3. Dennis Lillee 355
4. Nathan Lyon 331

Who was the recent Aussie capt that didnt rate Lyon much? I cant remember if it was Ponting or Clarke. Those figures are amazing. At this rate, 400 is around the corner for him.

Sad..but true.

[Azza]

Let's not count our chickens, gotta get through this partnership they're batting well

[-PJ-]

Were going well Azza, just remember that 8,9,10 and 11 can't bat.

And..if we end up winning this game that'll be the difference..tail end runs.

[Azza]

I'm happy now

I was just thinking.

Who's hotter ?

Charlize Theron or Scarlett Johansson.

Both played cricket as youngsters so I'm on topic..

Scarlett's 10yrs younger too..

IND need 175 tomorrow..AUS need 5 wickets..we got this...

I'm starting to like Paine

[gangrenous]

This test has certainly helped mend some of the Aussie team image in likeability, spirit and ability.

[Schifty]

Paine is brilliant.

Use humour as a weapon, seems someone who would have a top tier twitter game.

I don't know that the 67 wickets Lillee took in World Series Cricket are included in that total. Many of those were against the wonderful Windies side of that time. He was the top wicket taker in WSC and without Thommo at the other end. You've got to be old to know this stuff

Bighead Kohli..

DK was awesome. His stoushes with those great WI teams in the early 70s will stand the test of time. His 355 test wickets was a record at the time..he didn't like Javed much either.

Thats a MASSIVE score

[-PJ-]

SRI made 6d/952 in the highest innings score in test cricket v IND..Colombo 1997.

Jayasuriya 340
RS Mahanama 225
PA de Silva 126
A Ranatunga 86
M Jayawardene 66

But check out the FOW
1-39 2-615 3-615 4-790 5-921 6-924

There's some big partnerships among that total.

I vaguely remember reading that card and thinking, why didn't they declare earlier? You know, at 615.

IND actually batted first and made 570? odd themselves. Dravid and Sachan making big hundreds.

Handscomb takes a hanger

IND 9/140

We got this...

Where's Azza to celebrate ?

[greeneyed]

Take that Kohli!

[-PJ-]

Can't wait for Bigheads post match pressa !!!

[Matt]

4 wickets in 16 balls. Their tail is complete junk!

[-PJ-]

Can we go a whole home summer without winning a game ?

Yes we can !!!

You're an idiot!!!

[greeneyed]

You know I’ve never given Kohli two seconds thought before this tour. But it’s taken just the past two Tests for me to conclude he’s a jerk... and I intensely hope Australia beat him and his team.

[Azza]

He absolutely is a jerk. An excellent batsman, but a jerk. Him and Warner probably the two worst in world cricket.

Cut the personal insults!
