Shane Warne believes off-spinner Nathan Lyon doesn’t currently have enough variation in his bowling to succeed in ODI cricket.
Leg-spinner Adam Zampa replaced Lyon in Australia’s line-up ahead of the third and final ODI, which India won in the last over of the game on Friday.
“You can’t do that in white-ball cricket. You have got to bowl different balls all the time. And Nathan has really only got an off-spinner and a faster off-spinner.
”He just needs to develop a faster one or a top spinner or something that goes the other way (doosra) to be successful in this form of the game.”
India’s last-over win at the MCG today gave India a 2-1 series victory. Next up, Australia face Sri Lanka in two Tests – the first of which starts at the Gabba on January 24 – before five ODIs and two T20Is.
