IND vs AUS, Indore Test: Nathan Lyon on eight-wicket haul – 'One of ... (Scroll.in)

Nathan Lyon's eight-wicket haul help Australia restrict India to 163 in the second innings of the third Test in Indore.

I have played most of my cricket in India, my mindset is always to get a wicket.” Whatever length I bowled there was seam movement and skidding after pitching,” he added. Hats off to Smithy, he did all the work, I’m not surprised but it was a massive moment to finish off the day strongly,” he added. “There was seam movement that is why I tried the scrambled seam. To be honest with you, and this is no disrespect to anyone else in the team, but I don’t think anyone else is catching it. He also paid tribute to his “very good mate” Steve Smith, who was captaining the side in place of Pat Cummins who went back to Australia to be with his ill mother.

Nathan Lyon proving to be Australia's unglamorous linchpin in India (The Guardian)

Spinner has gradually become a formidable operator in Asia, where he has more Test wickets than any other visiting player.

He was in and out of the side visiting India in 2013, and ineffective in Sri Lanka in 2016. Over time he has learned the variations and the craft. Lyon is now 10 wickets clear of Shane Warne on a list that is not often thought about but which carries weight: the most wickets in Asia by a player from outside the continent. After two days of the ongoing Indore Test, Lyon’s eight for 64 hangs in the balance. But there has been a sense from Indian camps over the years of not rating Lyon’s bowling, a feeling evident again after his indifferent start to the current series in Nagpur. Last time, India rallied in the third innings as Pujara batted for hours and made a half-century while guiding them to a lead. In the broader continent, Lyon has set up wins in Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The previous time, Australia had bowled out India cheaply and then failed to take advantage by posting a lead of 87. This time he took them in the third innings of the match, not the first. This time, Australia bowled out India cheaply then failed to take advantage by posting a lead of 88. In Indore in 2023, Nathan Lyon took eight wickets for the second time. Instead of Pujara making 92, he was held at leg slip for 59.

His knock though was cut short by a stunner from Steve Smith, who dived to his right to take a one-handed screamer at leg-slip off Lyon. But his knock ended at 26 when Usman Khawaja took a one-handed stunning catch at mid-wicket off Mitchell Starc. For India, top-order batter Cheteshwar Pujara stood tall with a valiant 59 off 142 balls, through his precise footwork on a difficult pitch to bat.

IND vs AUS: Travis Head lauds 'unbelievable' Nathan Lyon (The Indian Express)

Travis Head (49) and Marnus Labuschagne (28) took Australia past the finish line on Day 3 in Indore.

On batting in such a difficult condition, Head said: “There was a time, we knew there would be a time when the bowlers would be up on us, and later we would get the opportunity to score runs. We made sure we put bad balls to score and release the pressure,” he said. “We tried to make sure we executed in the first innings. India are leading the four-match series 2-1 after having won in Nagpur and New Head made headlines after he was dropped from the playing XI in the first Test of the series. Was prepared and did my job and was ready enough to do it,” he said.

Australia thumped India by nine wickets on Day 3 of the third and penultimate Test, at the Holkar Stadium, Indore, on Friday (March 03), to keep the 2022/23 ...

By virtue of his match-winning spell, Lyon became the second in the list of most wickets against India (going past Muttiah Muralitharan) and also equalled Richie Benaud's tally of most 5-fers (five) against India on their home soil. In their second essay, India once again fell flat and got dismissed for 163 with Nathan Lyon taking 8 for 64 (ending with an 11-wicket haul). India started with the ball by not being consistent in their line and length and Australia ended the opening day with a 47-run lead, with six wickets in hand. However, from thereon, there was not much to cheer for India as Head-Labuschagne looked confident, bought some time in the middle, and guided the side to a memorable nine-wicket triumph. Resuming the day's play, Australia needed only 76 runs for a famous win and chased down the target with Travis Head leading the charge (49*). With this win, Australia have also qualified for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final.

While the tourists' chances of winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy are long gone, they put in a performance that will certainly rally hopes heading towards this ...

While he certainly failed to deliver in the first two Tests, Usman Khawaja showed why he is Australia's go-to opener in 2023. And he certainly provided a stunning breakout performance for his country, claiming his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket in the first innings, ending up with 5-16 off his nine overs. Carey conceded no extras in the first innings, a reflection of his top work with the gloves. And he hardly provided a compelling case to stay in the team with an unexceptional first innings knock of 19. His 60 runs in the first innings - on an incredibly tricky deck - was hit with aplomb, and he will have been disappointed with his dismissal when he was building a head of steam. He was lucky to escape the humiliation of a golden duck in the first innings, with Ravindra Jadeja overstepping his mark when Labuschagne chopped onto his own stumps.

Nathan Lyon is the best overseas spinner to travel to India and achieve so much, reckons Indian captain Rohit Sharma following the Indore Test.

Earlier, it was during the Bengaluru Test in 2017 when Lyon picked up his first eight-wicket haul (8 for 50) against India in India. Nathan Lyon is the first Aussie spinner to pick two eight-wicket hauls against India in India. Speaking to the media after the match, Rohit showered praise on Nathan Lyon, who for the second time in his career picked up an eight-wicket haul in an innings in India. It was about time before he ran through the tail and wrapped up India’s second innings on a mere 163. Already under pressure with a deficit of nearly 100 runs after the end of Australia's first innings, the Indian batters tried taking the attack to the opposition but failed in their attempt big time. For the third time in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series, a Test match ended inside three days as Australia on Friday chased a moderate target of 76 with nine wickets in hand.

In the recently concluded 3rd Test against India, Lyon took 11 wickets, eight of which came in the 2nd innings. With these numbers, Lyon's scalps swelled to 137 ...

India started Day 3 on a dreamy note, sending Khawaja back on just the 2nd ball of the first over. The team was bowled out at 163, handing Australia a target of 76 to chase on Day 3. Failure of India's batting order, coupled with lacklustre bowling display in the 2nd innings barring the starting 15-20 minutes, led to the defeat. The fact that he plays a similar role, just to a lesser degree, even in Australia, speaks volumes of how good he is. This was his second-best performance, with the best one coming in 2017 against India, where he took 8 wickets for 50 runs. In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Lyon has been at the forefront of Australia's bowling attack.
