Nathan Lyon commented on the recent altercation between Ben Stokes and India’s batters on Day 5 of England’s fourth Test against India in Manchester. This comes just a few days after Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar refused Stokes’ handshake, settling for a draw with only one outcome imaginable in the game.
Lyon noted that Stokes and Co.
Should have kept the pressure on instead of allowing the spin-bowling all-rounders to score hundreds. The experienced off spinner also stated that he expects England to target him in the next Ashes series later this year.
“Get them out.” “Don’t let them get a hundred,” Lyon said at a recent Melbourne Renegades event, as reported by Times Now. “I fully expect them to come out and attack me. I believe every touring team promises to attack the spinner, so I’ve grown accustomed to it. Guys attempting to assault me get me into the game. I am looking forward to that. I have some ideas, and I’ve already written down a few things I’d like to try out and work on.
He also praised England’s Test cricket style. “That’s England and the way they play cricket, so it’s fantastic drama and something I enjoy watching. I believe Bazball has evolved slightly; they are now openly discussing strategies for winning games without being overly reckless. But the circumstances over here have always been a fantastic fight between bat and ball, and that’s how Australia has produced wickets like that,” he explained.
Speaking of the ongoing five-match series, England lead the series 2-1. With the recent developments which went down between the two teams, the final match at The Oval is anticipated to be a cracker.
