Australian off spinner Nathan Lyon was really impressed by the show England spinners put in the recently concluded 5 match Test series against India. Although England were thrashed 4-1, Lyon thinks the spinners had a hell of a start.

Lyon quoted on Willow Talk podcast when asked who stood out, "All three of them to be honest. with you. And I'm not just saying that to be kind. They had a pretty hard introduction into Test cricket. That's one hell of a way to start your Test career, come over and bowl to Rohit [Sharma] and [Shubman] Gill and everyone else.

Lyon continued, "Bashir looked like he had something special as well. I like that he went over the back of it [the ball], so he could be a threat down here for sure."

Lyon will be joining Endland spinner Tom Hartley to play together for Lancashire. In regards to Tom Lyon added, "I'm looking forward to getting over to Lancashire and meeting Tom [Hartley] and bowling with him and just having discussions about left-arm [orthodox], right-arm offies is a pretty similar craft. It's going to be interesting to see the mindset, his reflections. I'm looking forward to hopefully playing a bit with him over there as well which will be good."
