Australia vs India T20Is: Winners and Losers for the Australian Team

#2 Chris Lynn

How long until the patience runs out?

For a brief moment in the first match, Australia would have heaved a sigh of relief as finally, Chris Lynn seemed to have found his range in international cricket. He was smashing the ball into the third tier with ease and just like so many times he had done it in Big Bash, he was able to lift the scoring rate in just two overs.

But then, again, like every other match, Lynn fell. This time to the spin from Kuldeep Yadav. Lynn is a batsman with crazy potential and the ability to be the most destructive batsman in world cricket. But slowly and steadily, some things are becoming clear.

He's not a complete batsman and he's not learning or evolving. He doesn't rotate the strike much not does he look nor those singles early on. He finds it very hard to negotiate spin and it was too evident in the 3rd match when he was just bumped down the order because Kuldeep and Co were batting.

How long does Australia hang on to him if he keeps doing the same things and failing again and again?
