If that comes along then so be it. But Nathan Lyon is bowling pretty well and he's done a good job with his opportunities. I dare say he's still in front.
"On the A trip he [Inverarity] was over in England, I spoke to him a few times there. He's been pretty happy with the way I bowl, the way I go about things with my flight."
