Batman Posted 29 July, 2015 Share Posted 29 July, 2015 Lyth is an odd one. Why keep playing shots like that when there is no need? 50-odd runs in 5 innings for him in this ashes series shyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinger Posted 29 July, 2015 Share Posted 29 July, 2015 50-odd runs in 5 innings for him in this ashes series shyte He keeps going fishing for that same ball, doesn't he? I personally think he's got the talent, but I don't know how much patience the selectors will (or should) show. I'd give him the next test as I don't really know who you bring in fresh to open for England at the business end of an Ashes series, but he's a weak link atm, no question.

St Lej Posted 29 July, 2015 Share Posted 29 July, 2015 Lyth is an odd one. Why keep playing shots like that when there is no need? He is blatantly out of his depth. You can tell when a player is genuinely at a test level ability but is struggling (Ballance, Bell), compared to simply not at the level required (Lyth). He's 27 already and his FC average is a relatively modest 42, which dozens of players who have never been selected for their country achieve. Ballance was dropped after making scores of 61,0,23,14.....way more runs than Lyth has made so far. I guess we are just short of quality openers to replace him at the moment.

St Jim Posted 1 August, 2015 Share Posted 1 August, 2015 I'm going to enjoy heading into work on Monday. Will have to perfect my smug face. Bell rode his luck with being dropped by Clarke and Lyth just doesn't look up to it (not sure who's best placed to push Lyth for an opening spot. Personally I'd like to see Carberry). Will be interesting to see who they replace Anderson with. Surely they'll have to replace like for like, a tidy tight bowler with the ability to swing the ball both ways. I've heard about Craig Overton, can anyone tell me if he's a good prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
