Mumbai: Nathan Lyon, Australia’s off-spinner on Sunday said that the national selectors would have a great problem in picking the squad for Cricket World Cup 2019 after Australia defeated Pakistan in the second ODI of the five-match series by eight wickets.
“That is just going to cause a massive headache for our selectors heading into the World Cup. It is a great problem to have for Australia. The guys in our dressing room, and with Steve Smith and David Warner coming back – they are world-class players – we have enough to be adaptable to whatever conditions and scenarios are thrown at us. The guys worked their backside off, firstly, and are now getting the rewards in the middle,” Lyon said.
David Warner also made a comeback at the very first game for Sunrisers Hyderabad by scoring 85 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Whereas Jhye Richardson suffered from a dislocated shoulder and was sent back to Australia for his treatment.
“It has been very disappointing and shattering for him after this incident,” Lyon said.
In the second ODI against Pakistan, Aaron Finch exhilarated the Aussies after he scored his highest International hundred (153) not out.
“Hats off to him, he has been working his backside off. He has not had the runs over the summer that he would like. But he is been working hard with Graeme Hick and Justin Langer. A lot of credit has to go to Finch but also JL and Hicky deserve a pat on the back. It is probably the most controlled innings I have seen him play in a long time,” Lyon said.
The Aussies take on Pakistan at the Second ODI at Abu Dhabi on March 27.
