Ashes: ‘Extra Batting Gave Us Balance We Were After,’ Says Smith Explaining Lyon’s Exclusion From Gabba Test
Gabba Test: Steve Smith explained Australia’s choice to exclude Nathan Lyon from their commanding eight-wicket victory over England in Brisbane, saying the extra batting gave the balance they were looking for and the absence was not linked to his abilities at all.
Lyon, who has claimed 562 wickets in red-ball cricket at the international level, was unexpectedly left out of team for the pink-ball Ashes Test.
Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, Brendan Doggett, and Neser claimed 19 of England’s 20 wickets convincingly during the match, with the only exception being Josh Inglis’ spectacular run-out of Ben Stokes. Batting all-rounder Cam Green bowled 13 overs but did not take any wickets.
