Why selectors dropped Lyon for the first time since 2013

The match is played with a pink dukes ball that behaves differently with the pink kocaburra used in Australia.

About 10 minutes before the game, the selective Tony Dodemaide announced Lyon’s shock negligence.

Dodemaide says only conditions and Australia is based on how Pink Dukes Ball will behave in this match.

“Obviously an unusual choice for us, Dod Dodemaide said. “It is not something we want to do in general, and when we arrived in Sabina Park, it was fair to say that it was not in front of the mind. It was a decision based on conditions.

“[This ball] In fact, Kocaburra treats One a little different. Not soft. Kocaburra tends to live a groove when it does not move too much in that mid -sea. This is not the case for the dukes. History tells us this.

“Based on all this, we thought that Spin would not have an important role in the game.

“This was our experience we had experienced here for the last few days.

“Based on all of these, we thought that Spin would not have an important role in the game. The definitely difficult one.”

He asked how Lyon received the news, Dodemaide said: “He wants to play every game because he is disappointed. He is a great opponent and believes that he can be effective in all circumstances. He understands a team of men and the team and will do their best to support men.

“This is not a one -time. It is not a reflection of performance for Nathan. This is the best way to think that we can win this game.”

However, the decision stood unlike the West Indian Islands, which chose the left arm Spinner Jomel Warrican instead of quick Anderson Phillip.

“They can do what they want to do, Dod Dodemaide said. “The best information we have.”

Lyon was informed of the decision at a team meeting at Kingston Hotel on Friday night, a few hours after the captain Pat Cummins may come. Those who see Lyon on Friday evening say it is in good souls, but there is no doubt that Mitchell Starc will be disappointed that he did not play in his 100th test.

For the first time since the 2012 Perth test against India – Peter Sidtle, Ryan Harris, Starc and I Hilfenhaus’un selected – Australian four experts attracted quickness.

The decision of Australia to neglect the most productive of the country since Shane Warne, not only any Spinner, underlines the changing nature of the test cricket: Tempo rules in modern game.

Lyon is a lock to play the first test of ashes in November. Crickket Australia and a new two -year contract until 2027 ashes remained only 13 days left.

However, when the pink ball test in Brisbane returns on December 4, the data may recommend otherwise.
