Nathan Lyon On Kevin Pietersen Statement: The second Test match of the Ashes series is being played between England and Australia at Lord’s ground. On the fourth day of this match, Australian spinner Nathan Lyon came out to bat despite being injured. Nathan Lyon shared a 15-run partnership in 31 balls for the last wicket with Mitchell Starc. Former English player Kevin Pietersen criticized Lyon for coming to bat. Regarding this, Nathan Lyon also responded brilliantly to his statement after the fourth day’s play.
During the commentary on Sky Sports, Kevin Pietersen said about the decision to bat Nathan Lyon that Australia sent him to bat so that he could be taken as a concussion substitute due to a head injury. In such a situation, Todd Murphy would have got a place as his substitute.
Responding to this statement of Kevin Pietersen, Nathan Lyon said that I have heard such statements that I went there only to get a head injury, but I am really against this thing. I lost one of my friends due to head injury. That’s why I think such statements are absolutely absurd.
It is difficult for Lyon to play in this series
During the second day’s play of the Lord’s Test match, Nathan Lyon went off the field immediately after injuring his calf while fielding. After this, when the team reached the stadium on the third day, Lyon was seen going inside the stadium with the help of crutches. In such a situation, the decision to play further in this Test series will be taken after the Lord’s Test match. The third Test match between the two teams will be played at Leeds ground from 6th July.
