Louis CameronCORRESPONDENT
I, I think maybe the one is, um, Webb's spot down at six or seven, that, that could be an interesting one if Australia wanna have an extra spin bowling option.
Louis CameronCORRESPONDENT
The fact he goes away, uh, the other way from Nathan Lyon is, uh, significant as well.
Louis CameronCORRESPONDENT
So, um, yeah, he, he's certainly doing the, the best, um, best he can.
Louis CameronCORRESPONDENT
I think the stat was that he, if you add in the 149 he made against Bangladesh, um, in the ODI immediately before the Zimbabwe series, he's the youngest Australian player to score three consecutive 50 plus scores in ODIs.
Pat CumminsGUEST
I can't remember anything.
Pat CumminsGUEST
Like if you, if Nathan Lyon was here, he could tell you his stats.
Pat CumminsGUEST
Yeah, 100%, what the weather was doing, everything.
Pat CumminsGUEST
I genuinely like that Lords game.
Stuart BroadHOST
in the Ashes series in a bowling attack that, you know, changed so many.
Stuart BroadHOST
Michael Nes had Scott Boland, had Doggett, um, Nathan Lyon for parts of it.
Steven FinnGUEST
Yeah.
Steven FinnGUEST
Yeah.
Darren LehmannGUEST
So our bowling department, our spin bowling p- department is a bit of a worry actually, lads.
Darren LehmannGUEST
You know, Nathan Lyon, and then we've gotta find the next one that's coming through, and that, that's the challenge.
Darren LehmannGUEST
So for me, our bowling's okay.
Darren LehmannGUEST
It's our batting that needs some work, and our batters have been a little bit down for the last two years really.
Ed CowanHOST
... as a key day.
Corbin MiddlemasHOST
Uh, is there a way we see Green, Marnus, and Connolly in the same 11 in South Africa? And does Nathan Lyon-
Ed CowanHOST
Green, Marnus, and...
Ed CowanHOST
Yeah, absolutely, there's a chance.
Corbin MiddlemasHOST
I agree with that.
Corbin MiddlemasHOST
Toby also says, uh, "Does Nathan Lyon play at all on tour?"
Ed CowanHOST
Toss a coin.
Ed CowanHOST
Don't know.
Stephen O'KeefeHOST
And it was an unbelievable trip.
Stephen O'KeefeHOST
Nathan Lyon was his first foray into playing for Australia, played for Australia A, and Greg Chappell, I think, was selectors at the time.
Stephen O'KeefeHOST
And the A-trip, they had two spinners, I think it was Beery and Crazier.
Stephen O'KeefeHOST
Well, Gaz bowled that well in the one days, and those two guys didn't impress enough that Gaz leapfrogged them into the Australian team from his white ball performance.
Lee BoothPANELIST
a dab of educated guesswork in some of it, I guess.
David TerracePANELIST
Well, the Lions, they played 100 tests in a row, and they must have, coming into this phase 70-odd, has got an absolutely ridiculous record, I 22 or something.
David TerracePANELIST
Average.
David TerracePANELIST
And Lion's got that 600-foot kit, so I'm going to go
Michael ClarkeHOST
Stark, Hazelwood, Cummins, particularly.
Michael ClarkeHOST
Add Nathan Lyon to that in test cricket.
Michael ClarkeHOST
So I think...
Michael ClarkeHOST
There's a lot of talk about the age of the Australian team.
Michael ClarkeHOST
Until there's a transition, until some new players get in and cement their spot, that's not going to go away.
Michael ClarkeHOST
But I feel like at the moment, Australian fans... are a lot more confident when they've got the big three in the team.
Michael ClarkeHOST
And you add Nathan Lyon to the test team as well.
Michael ClarkeHOST
So, you know, what that means going forward is we are relying heavily on those guys to be fully fit for every single test match.
Jack PaynterGUEST
Um, we all know that there's obviously pressure on Marnus Labuschagne heading into that test series, but there's another role that he potentially could play in the test side as well, which especially if Australia forecast it to spin in, in Durban, um, and then, you know, he could come into that side at n- at number seven, especially now that he's back bowling as well as they look to sort of strengthen that, that batting depth, I guess, and perhaps replace Webster with someone who can spin it the other way to Lyon.
Jack PaynterGUEST
'Cause we know Webster can bowl off spin and bowl medium pace, but he, he bowls, uh, you know, the same way as Nathan Lyon.
Jack PaynterGUEST
So if they were in fact looking for someone, uh, to come in and bowl spin while also keeping the three quicks in the side, you know, Connolly's potentially an option down there at seven as well, I think.
Josh SchonafingerHOST
Yeah, I like that.
Jason GillespieGUEST
South Africa have strength in fast bowling, but they've also got strength in slow bowling.
Jason GillespieGUEST
And that's where I think Australia Nathan Lyon has been unbelievable for Australia for so long but he's not getting any younger and just seeing signs of him just being a bit slower in the field, maybe not bowling as effectively as we have seen him over the years.
Jason GillespieGUEST
So I just wonder whether South Africa might prepare surfaces that offer a little bit of assistance to the slow bowlers and challenge Australia's batting, which has come under the microscope in recent times.
Jason GillespieGUEST
will Australia be challenged with the slow bowling, that the batters be challenged with the slow bowling as opposed to the fast guys? Because there's also a bit of doubt about Kakiso Rabada, South Africa's premier fast bowler.
