India vs Australia Ahmedabad Test: India’s dry pitches are proving to be a boon for Australian spinner Nathan Lyon.

Vettori praised Leone
Spin coach Daniel Vettori has praised Nathan Lyon for bowling brilliantly in the Test series. He said, ‘In the first test we talked about site spin. Because there is more benefit on red soil. Todd Murphy and Nathan Lyon did just that. Then we realized that we saw Ashwin bowling over the top. Then we tried bowling like him. Such bowling suits Nath. He also got preliminary results. His real skill is coming out. He needs to bowl in the same style even further.
Daniel Vettori further said, ‘Nathan Lyon occasionally bowls badly. He is successful in putting pressure on the batsmen due to his bowling skills. You think the batsmen know which ball is coming. But they can’t deal with it. Because he bowls so well, it is difficult for the batsmen to face him. We saw him doing his best in the Indore Test.
