Australian spinners struggling with low bounce, admits Pat Cummins
New Delhi, February 16 (PTI) Spinner Nathan Lyon and company’s effectiveness on Indian tracks has been curtailed because of low carry as they are used to bowling on bouncy Australian pitches, conceded skipper Pat Cummins on Thursday.
Though Australia’s young Test debutant spinner Todd Murphy took seven wickets, Nathan Lyon could manage just one even as Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja ran through the visitors’ batting lineup to help India win the Nagpur Test by an innings and 132 runs.
Lyon bowled 49 overs in the opening Test with only Suryakumar Yadav’s wicket to show for his efforts.
