Veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon stated he is positive of all-rounder Mitchell Marsh bowling for Australia in the upcoming pink-ball Test versus India, beginning in Adelaide Oval on December 6. He included that if required, he can occupy added bowling work coming his means. “I honestly think we’ll see Mitch Marsh bowl. I’m not concerned about Bison’s (Marsh’s) fitness if I’m being honest. He’s been brilliant for us in the games (since) he’s come back in … I’ve got full confidence in Bison, happy to bowl his overs. I’m very clear on my role within the team so nothing really changes with me. If I get the opportunity to bowl more overs I’ll jump at it,” stated Lyon to press reporters on Wednesday.
He anticipates the Adelaide pitch, filled with 6mm turf, will certainly supply aid for rewriters as the Test takes place. With Australia intending to settle the collection after shedding to India by 295 go for Perth, Lyon is positive regarding the hosts’ installing a far better program in Adelaide.
“We understand that we didn’t play our best cricket in Perth and India totally outplayed us. But with all the other stuff, it’s been quite humorous in a way looking at how much has been said and the reactions of so many different people after one loss.”
“The beauty of a five-match Test series…is you get the opportunity to turn that around and that’s the challenge of what we face right now. We are coming up against a world-class India side that played an exceptional game of cricket over in Perth but that’s been nine days or so ago now, so come Friday we go again which I’m excited about.”
“We are humans, we are going to make mistakes, but if we can go out there and try and learn along the journey then we are going to put ourselves in a better position come our next fixture. We’ve got a great record here, playing at one of the best venues in the world on a great wicket, so looking forward to that,” he specified.
He authorized off by revealing shock over Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja being neglected in Perth, as India selected Washington Sundar in advance of famous spin-bowling duo. “(It) more than surprises me. That’s the quality of Indian cricketers they have in that squad. You’ve got Ashwin with 530-odd wickets (536) and then Jadeja over 300 wickets (319). It’s pretty remarkable to see the quality of players sitting on the bench.”
