Veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon said he is confident of all-rounder Mitchell Marsh bowling for Australia in the upcoming pink-ball Test against India, starting in Adelaide Oval on December 6. He added that if needed, he can take up extra bowling workload coming his way. "I honestly think we'll see Mitch Marsh bowl. I'm not concerned about Bison's (Marsh's) fitness if I'm being honest. He's been brilliant for us in the games (since) he's come back in ... I've got full confidence in Bison, happy to bowl his overs. I'm very clear on my role within the team so nothing really changes with me. If I get the opportunity to bowl more overs I'll jump at it," said Lyon to reporters on Wednesday.
