Too much advice has been difficult to handle claims Lyon – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nathan-Michael-Lyon-c78822, Australia’s first choice Test spinner, admitted his struggles to cope with the plethora of advice he received during the first 12 months with the national team.
The search of a permanent spin option since the retirements of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Charles-Glyndwr-MacGill-c91433 indeed left the Australian side in a state of confusion, and led to a relative lean patch in their cricket. A change of captaincy and restructuring of the system followed, which further forced the team to put their faith in a relatively unknown off-spinner, who had little first-class experience at his disposal.
However, Lyon quickly impressed with his classical bowling style , which revolved around giving the ball more flight in order to take wickets. After being spotted by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 last year.
The off-break bowler did not disappoint as he dismissed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779 off his first delivery before recording a five-wicket haul. Since that time, he has become a permanent fixture in the side, and has played a pivotal role in helping his team remain undefeated in the previous season.
However, his showings over the past six months have not been up to scratch, with the player claiming just 8 wickets at 48.75 for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Berry-c47842, and spin coaches in Craig Howard and John Davison.
"It's been pretty difficult to be honest with you," Lyon told ESPNcricinfo. "To come into the thing and no-one say anything at the start, then come seven Tests you have people ringing you up and stuff. I've been fortunate to have http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Davison-c1706 on my side, and having that close unit together, really being able to work with each other.
"We've got that little group there where we all trust each other and are on the same page heading in the right direction."
