    'Absolutely Filthy': 'Gutted' Lyon Reacts To His Omission From Gabba Test Before Toss

    By IANS News December 04, 2025 • 17:18 PM View: 146
    Gabba Test: Australia’s veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon has revealed he was feeling "absolutely filthy" at being told he wouldn't be playing in the second Test. Lyon revealed that he arrived at the ground at 12 pm (local time), only to be informed 30 minutes later that he would not be playing.

    In a bold selection call, Australia made two changes to the side that won in Perth, with Michael Neser replacing Lyon and Josh Inglis replacing the injured opener Usman Khawaja. Neser joins Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, and Brendan Doggett, as well as all-rounder Cameron Green, as Australia opt for an all-out pace attack for the Gabba Test.

    However, selection chief George Bailey earlier clarified it was “very much a one-Test decision” to leave out Lyon, guaranteeing the off-spinner’s selection for the third match against England in Adelaide.
