Lyon in contention for Perth Test, says Clarke – Cricket News Update
The Australian Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, coming Friday.
After much speculation that Australia are likely to go to Perth having 4 fast bowlers in the line up like their last year’s appearance at WACA against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, skipper Clarke said, “He's (Lyon) still a chance, that's for sure, the wicket looks pretty good
and I always like having a spinner in the team. Over a five-day period spin will play a part. It does at the Gabba and the WACA. But we need to work out what our best attack is to take 20 wickets. If we think Nathan is part of that, then we go with Nathan.
If not, we have the option of going with four fast bowlers.”
After http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 will enter Perth with a completely new set of bowlers.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392 is also likely for the game after he succeeded in impressing the selectors, courtesy a good show
in the Sheffield Shield matches.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Wayne-Hastings-c68914 are also included in the 12-man squad for the match. Both fast bowlers, making a good name for themselves in the domestic arena, have yet to play the first International Test match.
If Lyon is retained by the Australian side, then Hazlewood and Hastings will battle it out for the only slot remaining in the line-up.
With veteran batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377 announcing his retirement after the Perth Test, the game is expected to be full of emotions for the Australians. However, Clarke feels it will give them more motivation to win the game and pay their respect to the legendary
batsman by achieving the top slot in the Test rankings.
 “I think it will only give us more inspiration, there's no doubt about it,” http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 said while talking about Ponting’s retirement call.
