LEEDS, England : The first boos of the day came before a ball had even been bowled as England won the toss and put Australia in to bat in the crucial third Ashes test at Headingley on Thursday.
Australian veteran spinner Nathan Lyon has been ruled out of the 2023 Ashes series against England and he has backed 22-year-old Todd Murphy to "leave his footmarks" in the series, saying that "stock ball" is good enough to provide a different challenge to the English batters. Australia on Monday announced changes to their squad for the remainder of the series, with Lyon ruled out due to a "significant calf tear" while fielding on Day 2 at Lord's.
Australia spinner Nathan Lyon has been ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes series after suffering a significant calf tear while fielding on day two of the second Test at Lord’s.
Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon will miss the rest of the Ashes series with a calf injury he picked up in the second Test at Lord's. Lyon pulled up on day two as he ran to field a ball. He hobbled out to bat on day four and scored four runs as he added 15 with Mitchell Starc.
Nathan Lyon's prospects of playing any further part in the Ashes looked to be fading fast as he arrived at Lord's on Friday on crutches.
Nathan Lyon's future on the Ashes tour is uncertain after he arrived at Lord's on Friday on crutches, as the Australian camp reported the bowler had suffered a "significant calf strain". The off-spinner limped off during Thursday's second day of the second Test after pulling up, having run in from the boundary while fielding. The 35-year-old, appearing to wipe away tears, eventually limped around the boundary edge towards the dressing room while a staff member supported him. Lyon, appearing in his 100th consecutive Test, joined his team-mates at Lord's on Friday morning, using crutches and wearing a compression sock.
Australia's batter Steve Smith updating about the injury of Nathan Lyon, said that his injury "did not look good". Lyon sustained an injury in the 37th over on day two of the second Ashes Test at Lord's of the England innings when Lyon was seen limping out with the physio shortly after completing a spell. Chasing a ball to the fence, Lyon seemed in immediate discomfort and was quickly taken off the field. "It doesn't look ideal for the rest of the game. I'm not sure how he actually is, but if he is no good, it is obviously a big loss for us. Fingers crossed he is okay but it didn't look good obviously," Smith said in a media interaction.
Australian batter Travis Head likes the way England skipper Ben Stokes and Head coach Brendon McCullum are leading the English Test team. He said that their style of cricket is "new and fresh". "I like it, I think the way they're going about it is exciting. It's new and it's fresh, and they're coming up with a style that's true to them and true to 'Baz' (McCullum) and Stokes," Travis Head said to cricket.com.au. The Australian batter had a great stint in the last Ashes. Australia had clinched the series 4-0 where Head had a great contribution. In the first match at Gabba, he scored a brilliant hundred.
