We never won an overseas series with him in charge.Would have won 3-0 with JL in charge.
It was noticeable in the third test Lyon got it out there outside off to the righties. Made a world of difference.
West Indies poised to win the series against the Poms. Just watched the third day's play (love Kayo skip button, can watch a day in half an hour). England 8/103, just 10 runs in front. My new favourite cricketer Kyle Mayers has 5/9 off 13 overs, and the best outfield run-out since Conrad Hunte threw out Ian Meckiff in the last over of the Tied Test. This is the bloke who made 210* on debut as the Windies chased 395 in Bangladesh. One of those golden arm naturals who looks like they pulled him in from the bar to don the whites.
Real grit about this Windies team. Skipper Kraigg Brathwaite sells his wicket as dearly as any opener, and it's rubbing off on the likes of Jermaine Blackwood and keeper Joshua De Silva, who made a resolute 100 in the West Indies first innings, with dogged help from tailenders Joseph, Roach and Seales. Seales and Joseph are fine young pace bowlers too. If only Brathwaite's opening partner John Campbell, who seems to make a run-a-ball 20 or 30 every innings, applied himself as well.
Test cricket needs a strong West Indies. This isn't the most talented Windies team we've seen, but they are honest. I like 'em.

I only watched the last few overs, but saw a replay of the wickets. Agree about Mayers looking like they dragged him out of a bar. Surprisingly he was very well spoken when interviewed at the close of play.
Leach is Englands best batsmen, I'm half serious
Jayden Seales looks a likely type as a quick, and Nkrumah Bonner can bat time. Da Silva's got some pluck with the bat, and is tidy keeper.
Still some holes, Shamar Brookes is not the answer at 3, and Shai Hope seens to have disappeared. I do like Mayers though, looks a park cricketer, having a Rocky Balboa shot at the dream.
