http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 in the 1st home Test match at Gabba on December 1, 2011.
In his very first 5-day game at home as captain, Clarke is likely to try two debutant pacers along with Lyon as he wants to capitalise on the seam and spin conditions of the wicket where the Aussies have not lost a single Test since 1988.
Pup reveals that he has always seen spinners succeeding at this pitch, so he hopes Lyon will also make an impact with his diverse bowling action.
Talking to the media today, the charismatic leader said, “The experience I've had at the Gabba, a lot of spinners have had success with bounce more than spin so I'm not concerned too much in regards to how much the ball spins on this wicket if there's bounce.
And generally if there's seam there's generally a bit of spin as well.”
Lyon made his International debut a couple of months back against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. In 5 matches, he grabbed 12 wickets, including a 5-scalp haul. These stats suggest that the youngster is likely
to have good time against the Black Caps as well.
Clarke has shown complete confidence on the 24-year-old spinner. He also claims that the uncapped players, namely http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301, are going to have an ideal opportunity to start their Test careers from this
series.
He stated, “No doubt it's an opportunity. It doesn't matter how you get your chances as a player. It's about grabbing it with both hands. All the guys available to make their debut are seeing it like that. They've got the chance to come in and be a part
of this great team and hopefully build a career."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rikki-Clarke-c85428 has also warned the Kiwis not to take the Kangaroos so easy on the basis of their experience with Australia A side, asserting that the visitors will have to confront tough situations in the series.
Perpetuating his winning legacy as skipper, Pup is keen to win this event at every cost.
