It has been a decade that Australia might put their arms across the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), which incorporates consecutive collection defeats on dwelling soil. However veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon believes Australia will reclaim the trophy in a ruthless trend within the coming Aussie summer season.
The BGT can be contested over 5 Checks for the primary time, and on the road is also a spot within the World Check Championship closing.At present India are high of the WTC leaderboard and Australia are No. 2.
However the ache of not having received the trophy since 2014 has been felt within the feedback of many Australian cricketers because the build-up to the massive face-off continues.
“It’s been 10 years since we have now received the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. I began fascinated with this collection when England had been over in India…I like the sport and I’ll watch an honest Check match, however I’ve had eyes on this collection (BGT) for a very long time now,” stated Lyon, speaking to Alyssa Healy on the ‘Willow Speak’ podcast.
“My prediction is 5-0 to Australia,” stated the 36-year-old, who’s Australia’s most profitable off-spinner in Checks with 530 wickets in 129 matches.
Lyon has been making notes concerning the Indian batsmen since England’s tour of India earlier this yr.
“I had a very good chat with Tom Hartley (England spinner), nearly the way in which he went about it, when (Yashasvi) Jaiswal went after him. That’s one thing I picked up from him,” stated Lyon. “Will Sarfaraz (Khan) come over right here or will or not it’s (KL) Rahul? They’ve a aspect filled with superstars.”
The off-spinner stated Australia will want large lots of from their high batsmen to place the Indian tempo assault, which can be led by Jasprit Bumrah, underneath strain.
“We’d like large runs. We’d like the blokes who’re gifted sufficient to get the hundred. The likes of Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head, all the highest order. I don’t need 101 or 107, I need 180 and 200,” Lyon added.
