http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 and Australia was good enough for Daniel Vettori to gauge his talent.
The former Kiwi skipper lashed a wonderful 96-run-knock and steered his side to a reasonable first innings total of 295 on a bouncy Gabba track. On the other hand, Lyon showed his magic with the ball, dismissing four Kiwi batsmen for just 69 runs in his
21.5 overs.
Vettori faced enough of him to be fascinated, explaining that the young lad is an aggressive bowler with an ability to bamboozle the batsmen with his sharp spin.
The former New Zealand captain, who himself is a world-class left-arm spinner, described that the 24-year-old has a lot of variations and alongside a very good flight, his unexpected quicker one was pretty dangerous.
"I think he looks like an aggressive spinner and I think that's what you want. He's a guy who has the ability to take wickets and I think he bowled really well, he got some bounce and turn and he put pressure on us, particularly early yesterday. So that's
what you want to see in a spinner and he did a great job,” said Vettori.
"He flights it up and he bowls the occasional quicker one. It's what we all do. It is not always easy to face, but on this wicket I thought he bowled in the right areas and put some pressure on us," added the 32-year-old who has 353 Test wickets to his credit

Lyon earned the baggy green earlier this year, when he became a part of Australia’s line-up for the Galle Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. His selection for traditional format came under heavy criticism, as he does not have any notable experience of playing first-class
cricket.
