Lyon looks to Murali for spin advice

AFP, SYDNEY: Australia's premier off-spinner Nathan Lyon said Monday he plans to call on all-time leading wicket-taker Muttiah Muralitharan for more bowling advice during his team's tour to Sri Lanka in July.
Lyon is just five wickets away from becoming the first Australian off-spinner to claim 200 Test victims and is keen to gather further insights from the Sri Lankan great, who worked briefly with him as a consultant bowling coach in 2014.
He said a renewal of that relationship would deliver benefits when bowling in the Sri Lanka series.
“(Mentor) John Davison and myself were recently talking about a few comments that he (Murali) said about how you should be bowling over on the sub-continent,” Lyon told the Cricket Australia website in Brisbane.
“So I'm looking forward to putting those into play and hopefully it will be good to catch up with Murali again over there. If we can get him down to a training session that would be fantastic.”
