‘Not good enough’: Legend’s dig at Lyon

Muralitharan is regarded as one of the best finger spinners in the sport’s history, and comfortably holds the record for most Test wickets., the 48-year-old claimed Indian tweaker Ravichandran Ashwin has a chance of getting near his record, but doesn’t feel the same way about Lyon.

Watch Australia v India Test Series Live & Ad-Break Free During Play with the Fox Cricket commentary team. New to Kayo?“Ashwin has a chance because he is a great bowler,” Muralitharan said. “Other than that, I don’t think any younger bowler coming in will go to 800. “Maybe Nathan Lyon is not good enough to reach it. He is close to 400 but he has had to play many, many matches to get there.”Lyon is on the verge of surpassing 400 Test wickets, and is expected to reach the milestone during his 100th match at the Gabba this week.

The off-spinner turned 33 in November, and if injury does not intervene, has the potential to compete in Test cricket for another five years.“I’m still hungrier than ever. I want to go out there and play as much cricket for Australia as I can … win a lot of Test series for Australia.”Lyon averages 31.98 with the ball in Test cricket, while Ashwin averages 25.53. Similarly, the Aussie takes a wicket every 63.9 deliveries in the game’s longest format, while his Indian rival does so every 54.

Yeah Lyons is a all hype...just like warner..out for 1 today 🤣😂.

Definitely

Who cares what a chucker who milked a large number of his wickets against weak opposition thinks? Lyon will come nowhere near his number but will know he got his against gold opposition and without needing to have the rules changed to accommodate a suspect action

So that when he overtakes your record

1. Doesnt chuck it 2. Doesnt play on doctored pitches 3. Hasnt taken a shit tonne of wickets against spud teams 4. Has actually won games I would take the Goat over Murali any day.

But at least Nathan doesn’t chuck it like MuttiahM did

He’d be correct.

If the GOAT could peg it at the stumps too I’m sure he could become “record-breaking”.

Well said.GOAT most overrated name given to a sportsman.

Maybe, but he doesn’t Chuck!

Chucka chucka chucka Oi oi oi

This chucker took 5 wickets Max with a straight arm hahaha what a flog

Silly comment Murali if you did make the mistake of saying it.

Great bowler poor husband.

It’s not even a question

Well he doesn't throw

If you throw the ball, obviously you’ll take more wickets 🤦‍♀️

Murali and Warne , daylight next. Lyon is about as good as JarVegemite FoMiandad

1/ he doesn’t chuck, 2/ he comes on after 3 of the best fast bowlers around, 3/ he bowls on all types of wickets & against the best teams!! of course he won’t get 800 wkts but he is the goat!!

That’s because he’s not a chucker.

100% agree. He'll get nowhere near it

Of course the fact that Lyon doesn’t chuck it will make a difference!

He is right.

He’s a test player Enuff said

Sounds a bit racist from muralitharan

Wow. Didn’t expect that from Murali.

Murali isn’t a chucker, well once they changed the rules for him at least.

Probably because he has a legitimate bowling action.

No one should be describing Nathan Lyon as 'not good enough' as a cricketer. AUSvIND Cricket

Lyon needs to learn how to throw like Murralitharan

The chucker took most of his wickets against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe

probably because he isnt gifted spinning pitches like murali was

This from a chucker

probably wont get near 800 wickets but why say such a thing?

Summer of celebration not panning out as hoped for LyonIndia is playing the party pooper in Nathan Lyon's summer of celebration but the champion spinner still has the chance to be Australia's hero. Time, however, is running out | wutube wutube Lyon has been ineffective all series. The same ball over and over again....ad nauseum. Can’t rely on him to take wickets on a 5th day pitch. wutube Couldn't agree more, Adrian wutube Lyon is in the final stages of a good run in the team but doesn't look like taking a wicket every over. A pretty inexperienced Indian batting line-up has handled him pretty well this series. Time to look at Swepson who looks the goods.
