Lyon Returns To The Summer Test With “batting Superstar” Challenge
New South Wales: Australian veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon heaped praise on Pakistan “batting superstar” Babar Azam and is ready to take the baton against him.
Babar is one of the few bright spots from their most recent trip to Australia in 2019-2020, where he scored 97 and 101. He recently resigned the Pakistan captaincy, averages 44.38 in 10 Tests against Australia and made a magnificent 196 in Karachi last year to save the match before Lyon removed him at a crucial stage of the decider in Lahore.
"Babar, firstly, has been a pleasure to play against but he's also been a massive challenge," Lyon told ESPNcricinfo. "He's one of the best batters in the world in my eyes, especially against spin. He's a class player. But think he's a class player against all types of bowling.
