Bowled without playing a shot.
Is it any wonder the Windies are just plain S**T ?????????
It doesnt take a truck load of $$$$ from the ICC to get the Windies back up to standard, Just half a brain to say "NO - WAIT" and USE THE BLOODY BAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those 2 SIMPLE things may just help a bit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lyon is getting alot of turn and bounce, O'keefe not so much, infact none

Like the majority of Australian cricketers he's been selected on the back of a very good Sheffield shield career, also bowled very well on the recent Australia A tour so he deserves to be selected as the second spinner.
If Lyon was ever unavailable who would you pick as our test match spinner? O'Keefe has got the first class success and experience to be that man, you can't deny that. Or would you pick Fawad Ahmed? Aston Agar is way off getting another opportunity at test level.
But today he hasn't looked threatening at all today, like you've mentioned you turn and bounce for him at all. In his first spell he was bowling too fast and was too negative. He just needs a wicket to get himself going.

If i'm picking a 2nd spinner Im picking one on potential preferably a leg spinner. Im not picking a guy who has proven he is not up to it, his performance in Dubai should of had his papers stamped.
If I'm picking someone to replace Lyon I'm picking a quick as we dont have a spinner thats up to it

Unfortunately that's the trouble with this Mickey Mouse cricket being played when we should be playing shield cricket. When someone goes out injured we are picking guys with no meaningful cricket under their belt for nearly a month. Would rather see another quick play and Warner/Smith bowl a few overs of spin

Ok well looking at what there is in state level at the moment who would you pick on potential?
I think every cricketer deserves a second chance at it if their form warrents it.
People (this is not directly pointed at you Daisy) like to express their opinion on a particular player that shouldn't be there but I like to know who they would pick instead.
The selectors have Scott Boland in the squad which I think is an odd decision and IMO I would have Jackson Bird instead, I still think he's got something to offer at test level.

Nathan Lyon won't be replaced anytime soon. He would almost be one of the first players picked
