Maybe Lyon Could Be Left Out Of Australia XI For The Ashes: Ryan Harris
World Test Championship: Former Australia fast-bowler Ryan Harris believes veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon could be left out of the side’s playing eleven for the next year’s Ashes at home, as the hosts’ weigh up their best bowling line-up for the all-important series against England.
With fast bowlers calling the shots on spicy pitches in the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, Lyon, who has 500-plus Test wickets, had a minimised role in Australia’s 3-1 triumph against India, picking only nine wickets while bowling 122.4 overs in five matches.
"Scotty, as we know him, is the guy that comes in when someone gets injured. That's his role in the past... but he took 21 wickets at 13, so that's definitely something the selectors are going to have to think about with Josh Hazlewood not being in there.
