Ashes: Tom Moody Suggests Australia Replace Nathan Lyon With Specialist Batter For Gabba Test
ODI World Cup: Former Australian all-rounder Tom Moody has made a bold call for Nathan Lyon to be dropped ahead of the second Ashes Test in Brisbane. The off-spinner, 38, is just one wicket shy of matching Glenn McGrath’s 563 Test dismissals, but Moody believes conditions will favour an all-pace attack.
Speaking on Wide World of Sports, Moody argued that selectors should tailor the side to what is expected to be a seam-friendly Gabba pitch. Lyon had minimal impact in the Perth Test, where Australia’s fast bowlers dominated during two days of high-intensity cricket.
“A few hard decisions need to be made...and my personal view is I wouldn't play Lyon. I never thought I'd see the day where you don't play a specialist spinner in a Test match in Australia, but with day-night cricket, it's hard to get the spinner into the contest,” Moody said.
