A player from all accounts according to Dobell pretty much blacklisted from England selection.
Lets review his very brief international career.
Series 1
Good solid effort in India where many non Asian players have constantly failed especially in their first time in the SC.
Series 2
Away to NZ.
Gunned it hard.
Series 3
Home to NZ, yeah this was poor, but were two bad tests enough to bin him?
Rather amusingly after that NZ series, he played very well against Australia in a warm up game where Clarkey was very complimentary towards him,
Since then, we have numerous openers who have came and gone and Lyth is probably one bad test away from Banishment.
I always thought he was poorly treated and deserved to be persisted with, a good old fashioned opener to see of the new ball who is still gunning it in division 1.
Your thoughts please?
