craig is really there just to stiffen the tail and clock some overs. i agree though.
we have other options.
i think on NZ pitches we will play more pace, i can see Milne getting another call up on a fast green pitch. the aussies cant handle swing or movement off the pitch.
Lyon walking from his crease is all there should have been in it, he admitted he was out and should have kept walking like Gilcrhist would have. Instead he walks back knowing everybody knows hes cheating. That must have felt dirty. He will be branded a cheat for the rest of his life, the guy who put playing to win above honesty and the spirit of the game. Thats what test cricket is, testing your spirit and honesty, blood sweat and tears. If you dont think you are out. Stay in your crease for cripes sake.
As for how anyone watching just the normal replay cant see the deviation off the bat, forgetting DRS, is beyond me.
I just think it was a flap up, but some people will demand inquiry into it.
Cant wait for our Sri Lankan friends to arrive. I enjoyed their tour last year. Played in the spirit of the game. The might test us a bit more this time.
