Boy I miss those golden tonsils of Tony Grieg. I rue the fact I never bought my bat with me to the Adelaide Oval when I was 14. That day, he was walking over to the commentary box. He was a giant of a man, easily 8 foot, and such a gentleman. It was the only time I met him in person. Vale Tony Grieg.
Wow, that is good timing. Missed watching the day's play today, but I like what I see here. Nice pivot and a classical off-spinner's action after a long, long time indeed. Even though it was a dust bowl (even Herath looked penetrative), the young lad deserves all the credit. Good areas and that caught and bowled was the icing on the cake!
Rob. It's amazing how many others have uploaded this same video, and even more amazing that others actually edited whole new ones of this same haul when you had this out a couple of hours after the days play
He is the most TALENTED bowler we have now in domestic cricket. Hauritz can't impart spin on a usual basis if he had an hand transplant from Graham Swan, Doherty is perfect for ODI cricket but not talented enough for test, Krezia was my favourite but has not shown that he has improved on his accuracy (that is not leaking runs constantly), Beer is a joke, O'Keefe is the run of the mill left armer. The domestic leg spinners are un-tallented. I wish we utalised Brad Hogg and Beau Casson.

That pitch is as good as it gets for spinners, so shouldn't make too much of it. He bowled very well though, and he's got good variation. As the twelth spinner tried since the retirement of Warnie, it's about time the Aussies found a good one!
@Bisharoeli I agree, and if Hauritz comes back to form after an injury, he can be helpful as the second spinner to Lyon, so Lyon can get as many chances as possible to prove that he can perform as the job of being Australia's top spinner requires anywhere. They cannot expect to axe a spinner if Australia lose a series even if the spinner is not at fault, i.e. The Ashes in England, specifically one test where they didn't pick a spinner and Graeme Swann blows away the Aussies.
Looks very decent. Australia has found their spin bowler. I can't believe all debutants Cummins, Pattinson and Lyon claimed five wickets each.. amazing. Things looking good for Australia
@Bisharoeli Also, there is a good chance that Australia finally found the spinner that can performs in the subcontinent, not only Australia or the other countries. But they have to remember that Shane Warne have difficulty with getting wickets in India, so let's see what happens after the Test series in India in 2013. Meanwhile, let's hope that the new selection board won't do a spin-a-rama with different spinners from Hauritz to Beer to Lyon.
looks pretty good to me....hope he lives to all promises he has made here.... Aus need a good consistent spin bowler... all 5 were good deliveries but the one got Sangakkara was an offspinner's dream!
Rob, Harris/Watto's bowling was also impressive, & Hussey/Clarke's half-centuries no less....it was a very good match in all, very challenging pitch & good bowling from both sides..
@robelinda They go round every few weeks/months and take down loads of videos at once. I uploaded an Ashes video and mine got terminated the same day as Leemann's.
Nothing against Lyon, but seriously. Sri Lanka cannot handle a guy who averages 40 plus with the ball in first class cricket? Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan - fat flat track bullies with bloated averages. One wonders how they would have fared in the 1970s or 80s. Pakistan were far far superior in the 1970s - they actually fought the Windies tooth and nail in the Caribbean in 1976-77 against a lethal pace attack (Roberts, Holding and Croft). How would these Sri Lankans have performed?
12 years nathan lyon been with the Australian team and he is still consistent! Only got dropped three times, one is for strategy reasons, 2 is poor form and got dropped by xavier Doherty and glenn maxwell and 3rd is overlooked by a 19 year old ashton agar! Overall he missed only 4 tests
500 wickets, officially a legend, what a debut!
Got 500 on his first ball too
I liked him the moment I saw him. But I didn't think that far ahead.
Who would have thought he’d be so close to 400 test wickets & he’ll be playing his 100th test match at the Gabba this week. Nice Garry!!
Didn't end well
I know
Who would have thought that India would rip past the Gabbatoir😂😂😂
fuck now hes almost at 500
went to make it 100 IN A ROW then got injured in that 100th consecutive test
what a man
A boring match will become interesting match with RIP Tony sir's commentary we miss you sir .
The day a legend played his maiden test match. Gary the GOAT 🐐
He got owned by dhoni 200 in india...was lucky that dhoni backed him
Oh Tony...miss that commentary style.
WC 2015 missed it for sure
Jayasuriya is...entertaining too lol
nice garry what a moment and to have it called by griegy
4:24 that’s why he went bald
Haha
😂😂
😂
I am searching for this type of comment 😂😂

I think you mean 6’8”. In fact Tony Greig was 6’7”. Still, very tall for a batsman. Australia’s new boy, Cameron Green is the same height.
No green is 6 ft 6 inch
Now he has 496 test wicket
Here before his 500th test wicket
Wow, that is good timing. Missed watching the day's play today, but I like what I see here. Nice pivot and a classical off-spinner's action after a long, long time indeed. Even though it was a dust bowl (even Herath looked penetrative), the young lad deserves all the credit.

Great ball GOAT. Michael Clarke, fantastic catch.
2:38 wicket 0 wicket W0W it looks like wow
Rob. It's amazing how many others have uploaded this same video, and even more amazing that others actually edited whole new ones of this same haul when you had this out a couple of hours after the days play
m here after he got his 400th wicket....go go Nathan!
Best start to a bowling career I've seen.
Boxing Day Test: Simon Boland.. hold my beer
He is the most TALENTED bowler we have now in domestic cricket. Hauritz can't impart spin on a usual basis if he had an hand transplant from Graham Swan, Doherty is perfect for ODI cricket but not talented enough for test, Krezia was my favourite but has not shown that he has improved on his accuracy (that is not leaking runs constantly), Beer is a joke, O'Keefe is the run of the mill left armer.

What a way to debut! Its amazing enough that its his first ball, and on top of that its the wicket of the legendary Sangakkara.
Lyon loved a caught and bowled from the beginning.
Niiiiiiiiiicccccceeeeeee GAARRRRRYYYYYY
04:12-Nathan The Catcher.
Rob, the master of Tags:
"NATHAN LYON GREATEST SINNER AWESOME BOWLING BEST DEBUT" - Yep, greatest sinner.
"SACHIN TENDULKAR WORLD CUP INDIA CHEATING" - Nothing new there
" SHAHID AFRIDI EATING CRICKET BALL" - Ha
Missing this commentary so much. WC 19 has some shit commentators.
From a pitch curator to an off spinning legend
noooooiiiiiiiicccceeeee garrry
great player he will do great :)
He did
What a start to get his first wicket in his first delivery of his first test, lets see if he can get his 400th wicket in his 100th test! ;)
He bowled a nice length and was rewarded - nice to see this from Australia. The fielding also crisp.
2:31 sums it up; "This over W0W", wow Indeed ;)
His action is lethal now, debut action is not that smooth. I rate him above Ashwin.
good on him. congratulations to him.
Watching this, when he is on the cusp of 500 wickets. Hope it happens at Lord's
Rob, could you possibly upload Nathan Hauritz's dismissal of Tendulkar? The match where Clarke took 6 for 9.
The GOAT
2:38 lol "THIS OVER W0W" exactly what i thought of the over.
500 Test wickets! all started with a hell of a catch from Michael Clarke, too. congratulations Nathan!
That pitch is as good as it gets for spinners, so shouldn't make too much of it. He bowled very well though, and he's got good variation. As the twelth spinner tried since the retirement of Warnie, it's about time the Aussies found a good one!
Who's here after Ponting's podcast 🙋♂️
nice garry
And he's got a wicket first ball, yes, he's got a wicket first ball!
Foghorn Leghorn commentating.

Just hit 500 test wickets. What a champion!
Looks very decent. Australia has found their spin bowler. I can't believe all debutants Cummins, Pattinson and Lyon claimed five wickets each.. amazing. Things looking good for Australia
7 years later they are finally in the same bowling attack
Everyone except Pattinson could have a great career
Nathan lyon was a ground staff @ adleide 😃
nice bowling from nathan lyon, australia finally has another shane warne, but where is xavier doherty and steven smith
Sammy Larry Now Steve Smith is best test batsman of his generation 😀
Greatest off spinner , GOAT
@Bisharoeli

Lyon has become GOAT now
looks pretty good to me....hope he lives to all promises he has made here....
Aus need a good consistent spin bowler...
all 5 were good deliveries but the one got Sangakkara was an offspinner's dream!
This aged well
well, he's turned out alright :)
Had to come back here after Lyon finally got his 400th wicket at the Gabba against England.
Well done on becoming Australias greatest finger spinner!
If only England could produce young players like this. I smell another decade of dominance coming from Australia... *sigh*
Not sheer dominance though ...But they won 2015 World Cup
yeah he is ok, just hard to get wickets being a finger spinner in australia.
Yep he still goes . alright
Bet ya feel dumb now
352 wickets now in 88 test he is a great bowler now for Australia and best spinner after warney produced by aussies 💯🇦🇺
3rd highest wicket taker in Australia. Lol
drift and bounce are the biggest strength if Lyon...
Here after ponting telling us he was the reason Lyon got selected
STUART BROAD IS NOT WOMAN !! Lmao :D
lyon future for aussies
THE GOAT!
@2.33 even the scoreboard says WOW
@tomelmslie Paine is injured, has been for months, and wont return for a few weeks yet.
robelinda he’s back now 😂😂
He is back after long period lul😂
Rob, Harris/Watto's bowling was also impressive, & Hussey/Clarke's half-centuries no less....it was a very good match in all, very challenging pitch & good bowling from both sides..
@tomelmslie dunno. he's due back playing in January i last heard, been injured for 3 months, finger i think.
o god sanath jaysuriya english is killing me like nth
I love you gaz
2:38 at the bottom of the screen it had wow
Brilliant from Lyon
GOAT
@yennavai646 Yeah but ESPN were the owner of the broadcast. You upload anything recent Indian and you are gone.
Lyon & "caught and bowled" this love story was from the beginning.
Rob, read today Mike Hussey's catch to dismiss Jayawardane was a screamer.....
Best return catcher in cricket history!!!
damn - still good
they should give him a go and not do it him what they did to krejza
500 & 501 For The 🐐
@robelinda Doesn't that Rugby World Cup logo fox sports are showing give you the shits when your taping. pain in the ass
good debut lyon
Now you know clearly why he is that bald. Aussies co players massaging head for every wicket.
@kidbyers I know, what a pain in the ass!
Apply burnol
@robelinda They go round every few weeks/months and take down loads of videos at once. I uploaded an Ashes video and mine got terminated the same day as Leemann's.
*TA TA TA TIMMY FROM SOUTH PARK AKA GARY LYON MANS BOWLED THE SAME BALL SINCE HIS DEBUT*
that was quick! great work rob
he would have had 500wickets by this time if he was indian
Welcome to the elite club, Gazza!
@veltson12345 No, he got 8 in the first innings 4 in the second innings. Went for a hellofalot of runs though
sanath jayasuriya is just not right for commentary unfortunately ha
@robelinda Why not make a robelinda2011 and upload recent innings in it or something?
Nice Gary.. 500 wicket Club 🎉
@robelinda2 Well, possibly add texting after Shane Warne, then some more lulzy ones
GOAT

Continuous 100th matches
@veltson12345 yes it was 8-215 in the first innings vs India
Lets just remember that Krezja got 8 on debut......
12 years nathan lyon been with the Australian team and he is still consistent! Only got dropped three times, one is for strategy reasons, 2 is poor form and got dropped by xavier Doherty and glenn maxwell and 3rd is overlooked by a 19 year old ashton agar! Overall he missed only 4 tests
@tomelmslie in all fairness, hauritz gets like 1/2 a degree of turn. But then again Australia doesn't have too many other great spinners..
pitch is certainly helping a lot..but overall its a show of nice catching. specially clarke, punter and lyon
Lyon be watching this and be like:
“300+ test wickets- worth all what little hair I’ve lost over the past 10 years!”
Lol Rob you've only got 2 tags.
He has hit over 100 wickets!
Now 399 wickets
dont think the sanath jaysuriya commentating experiment will last long
At 2:37... THIS OVER: W0W
good to hear Tony Greig commentating. after quite a while
niiiiiiiice gary
