To bowl in conditions as these against best batsmen and I am very excited with the prospect. Can't wait," he said. Though Lyon added that the Indian batsmen would pose a huge challenge. "They (Indians) are all very challenging to bowl to. It's going to be a different experience bowling to them." He, meanwhile, insisted there was no doosra for him. "I can't bowl that one as I have tried it before and it has not worked for me." On whether he had got any tip from legendary spinner Shane Warne, Lyon said: "I didn't meet him this time. He is a great bowler. I spoke to him before the India series last time, and his advice was unbelievable. On what he said, I can't let all the secrets out." Asked if it would be a problem with Shane Watson not be bowling, the spinner said: "Watson, we all know how talented he is, unbelievably talented. But we have players coming in and can fit into many positions who can contribute with both bat and ball. It is up to (coach Mickey) Arthur and (captain Michael) Clarke to pick the best XI for the match and we have players who can do the job." (MORE)
