Nathan Lyon says he is concerned about his own bowling skills - Cricket News Update
Unfazed by the prospect of facing a star studded Indian batting line-up, young http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, his focus will only be on his capability and skills, and not on how
good the experienced Indian batsmen are against spin bowling.
The formidable Indian batting up includes the likes of veteran batsmen including the iconic http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772, but the new found Australian prospect is not bothered by the big names
in the opposition batting armour.
"I know there's a lot of talk about how good they are against spin, but how they play is out of my control, I'll just worry about my own skill set," said Lyon while talking to a leading Australian daily. "I'll just do the basics right and see how the game
unfolds,” he added further.
The 24-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 right-arm off-spinner said that if he got picked up in Australia's squad for the high profile Boxing Day Test, he would be targeting Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar’s wicket.
“...if I get to bowl against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 it will be unbelievable. But in saying that, I'll be playing for Australia, he'll be there for India, so I'll be looking for his wicket more than anyone else's," the off spinner was quoted as saying by a leading
Australian daily.
Lyon, who is the 12th Test spinner in the Australian squad since retirement of spin wizard Shane Warne, said that the legendary spinner is gone now and no one can fill in his boots; however, he said that he will take his opportunity and try to
prove a point.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672 is gone and done with. No one is going to be as good as he was so I just worry about what I can do, the tricks in my boxes and I'll take my opportunities," said the off-spinner who has 22 Test wickets from 7 appearances.
Earlier, the out of favour Indian off-spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 had warned the rookie spinner that the star studded India could be a tough challenge for him.
