Surely Lyon is going to picked?
Heard somewhere that he has played more tests than any Aussie since taking over from Agar on their last Ashes tour...

Stare them down.
Every time Brad Haddin or Mitchell Johnson tries to sledge the English player, that player just turns round and stares them down. Right in their eyes. See how quickly they back down then. If the umpires have to step in to calm things down then the Englishmen won't have done anything, they've just drawn the attention of everyone to it. It's also the sort of thing which can get a crowd going, especially a raucous one. Something not dissimilar to this;

"Oi Rooty, prepare for a broken f*ckin' leg, ya Pommie b*stard."
**Stares**

"Alright, Rooty's lost it. Guy's a mad man."
Won't happen but would be fantastic theatre.
