The upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy will see the resumption of the battle of off-spinners between Ashwin and Lyon. The duo made their Test debuts in the same year and have comfortably gone past 500-wicket mark in the longer format.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAsh is an incredible bowler. I\u2019ve gone head-to-head with him for basically my whole career, so I\u2019ve learned a lot from Ash. He\u2019s an incredibly smart bowler, and he\u2019s able to learn and adapt very quickly, and I think the best bowlers in the world are able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe used his skill to benefit himself and his team. So you\u2019ve got to give credit where credit\u2019s due, he was the best bowler (in 2020\/21), as he usually is. So hats off to Ash,\u201d said Lyon to Fox Cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also revealed the learnings he\u2019s taken from seeing Ashwin up and close in action. \u201cHe\u2019s taught me a lot. I\u2019m a big believer in the players that you play against are your best coaches that you eventually come across. I\u2019ve watched a lot of his footage heading over to India, the way he goes about it here in Australia, see if I can pick up anything.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe way I look at cricket is that I\u2019ve never met anyone who has conquered the game, never played against or with anyone who\u2019s conquered the game. There\u2019s so much to learn in this great game, and there\u2019s so much for me to learn off Ash. He\u2019s a world-class bowler. He\u2019s taken over 500 Test match wickets, and he should be extremely proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI know Jadeja reads all of this stuff, so I can\u2019t really share all my secrets. My big thing is spinning up the back of the ball and getting bounce, but it\u2019s a hard craft to be able to do that in Australia. Your size for error is extremely small.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
