Ashes 2023: Didnt Look Good Steve Smith Provides Worrying Update On Nathan Lyons Injury

Steve Smith Provides A Worrying Update On Nathan Lyon's Injury After The Lord's Test

The off-spinner Nathan Lyon suffered an injury during the final session of day two, and Australia’s batter Steve Smith has expressed concern about how it may affect the remainder of the match.

As an off-spinner, Lyon is critical to the team’s bowling assault, and his absence would be a disadvantage. Lyon’s presence gives depth to the batting order in addition to his bowling abilities.

Given that Nathan Lyon’s injury occurred during the Lord’s Test, which was his 100th straight Test for Australia, he must have been disappointed, as well as his supporters. When injuries happen, especially during pivotal times in one’s career, it is never easy.

The feat of participating in 100 straight Test matches is remarkable and demonstrates Lyon’s commitment and talent. It’s terrible that an injury tarnished this accomplishment.

Nathan Lyon moved in from the deep fine-leg region to collect the catch after Duckett struck a delivery from Green in the air. The ball would end up falling short of the off-spinner, who would immediately be in discomfort and gripping his calf region.

“Fingers crossed Nathan Lyon is okay but it didn’t look good” – Steve Smith

Steve Smith, an Australian batsman, has now given a concerning update on the off-spinner following Thursday’s stumps. Steve Smith commented that Nathan Lyon’s injury didn’t appear to be severe and asserted that the visitors would suffer greatly if Lyon was unable to participate in the remaining Lord’s Test matches. According to Smith, the squad is crossing its fingers for the scenario.

“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,” Steve Smith said in a media interaction.

Nathan Lyon, who took eight wickets in Australia’s first Test victory, is an important component in the bowling attack. If the condition worsens, it would be a massive blow for the visitors, who only have four-Test spinner Todd Murphy as a backup.

Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka scripted history as he scored his maiden ODI double ton in the first ODI against Afghanistan in Pallekele. The Lankans scored a mammoth 381/3 in 50 overs. He became the first Sri Lankan batsman to score a double century in ODI cricket. He surpassed Sanath Jayasuriya’s career-best ODI score of 189 to achieve this rare feat. He got to the landmark hitting a boundary four of Afghan pacer Fareed Malik. Nissanka finished with 210 off 139 deliveries as he hit 20 fours and 8 sixes in his innings at a strike rate of 151.07. He first added 182 runs for the first wicket with Avishka Fernando (88). Kusal Mendis the captain scored 16, Charith Asalanka an unbeaten 7 as Nissaka added another crucial stand of 120 runs with Sadeera. Every Afghanistan bowler was expensive in this match. Fareed Malik and Mohammad Nabi were the only two bowlers to pick up wickets. Every bowler barring Nabi conceded runs at an excess of seven runs per over. Malik went for 79 runs off h...

“It’s MS Dhoni show” – CSK fans happy despite defeat to DC as India legend shines with excellent cameo

Image
In the 13th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) , the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) took on the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31. Delhi Capitals won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first in the match. They made two changes to their playing XI as Kuldeep Yadav, who had a niggle, and Ricky Bhui were replaced by Prithvi Shaw and Ishant Sharma. Chennai Super Kings, unsurprisingly, fielded an unchanged playing XI. Playing in his first match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Prithvi Shaw set the stage on fire and gave a message to the DC team management. He played his natural attacking brand of cricket and was involved in a terrific partnership of 93 runs with veteran opening batsman David Warner. Shaw smashed 43 runs off 27 balls during his stay in the middle and David Warner slammed 52 runs off 25 balls. The DC openers wer...

“Hardik Pandya leave captaincy” – Twitter reacts as RR’s Riyan Parag, Trent Boult hand MI their 3rd consecutive defeat

Image
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai hosted the 14th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) between the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday, April 1. Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and as expected elected to bowl first in the match. They made one notable change to their bowling unit as Sandeep Sharma, who was unfit, made the way for Nandre Burger in the playing XI. The decision to have a go with the ball turned out to be excellent for the visiting team as the star left-arm pacer Trent Boult made the Mumbai batters dance to his tunes. Trent Boult dismissed Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir for golden ducks on the 5th and 6th ball of the first over of the innings. MI were forced to bring in Dewald Brevis ahead of the second over as an impact player. Nandre Burger came to bowl the second over and he bowled some brilliant lines and lengths but wasn’t able to pick any wickets. Then, Trent Boult came again and dismissed Brevis ...
