Nathan Lyon gives revelation on Mitchell Marsh’s bowling against India in Adelaide Test

Australian spinner Nathan Lyon believes that Mitchell Marsh is going to bowl to India in the upcoming Day-Night Test in Adelaide. The fitness of Marsh has been a point of concern after he experienced some problems when he was bowling in the opening Test in Perth.

Though Beau Webster has been taken as a potential replacement, Nathan expresses his belief in the ability of Marsh to come and perform with both the at and the ball. Lyon dismissed all the concerns about Marsh’s fitness and suggested that he is going to bowl in the Adelaide Test

“I honestly think we’ll see Mitch Marsh bowl. I’m not concerned about Bison’s fitness if I’m being honest. He’s been brilliant for us since he’s come back in. He came back in that game in Leeds during the Ashes and has really dominated, so got full confidence in Bison. Happy to bowl his overs,” said Nathan.

Nathan has been a turning figure in Australian bowling attack, as he has often shared the workload with all-rounders Mitchell Marsh and Cameron Green. He has also taken the lead of spin bowlers in certain situations where the team has gone in with a pace attack, with help from non-bowlers.

Even without a dedicated all-rounder, Nathan has consistently taken the extra responsibility, especially as he has operated as the single spinner. Lyon has now shared his willingness to bowl extra overs if required, which highlights his commitment to the success of the team.

“I’m very clear on my role within the team. Nothing really changes with me…if I can get the opportunity to bowl more overs, I’ll jump at it,” he said.

The 37-year-old ace spinner even spoke about the defeat against India in Perth as he openly accepted that Australian team did not play to their full extent in the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
