Hunter on Saturday. “You could see that skill level straight away,” Austral-
ia’s Assistant Coach Daniel Vettori said.

“There are very few bowlers who are able to be con-
sistent with that amount of top spin and revolutions.

“It’s a really tricky thing to do.
“And then you see the development of that bowler, to
read conditions, to add things to his armoury and a de-
sire to just keep wanting to get better.”
Lyon is using his top spin and bounce to his advan-
tage.
Five of his nine wickets in the first Test came when
opposing batsmen were beaten by the bounce and turn
as they struggled to get over the ball.
It’s a tactical change that looms as crucial ahead of
next year’s four-Test tour of India, where Lyon will play
a big role.
“Because his stock ball is so amazing, sometimes for
him that is good enough,” Vettori said.
“But he is also looking to bring variations in with differ-
ent balls, over and around the wicket.”
