Veteran Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon said that getting a grip of the ball will help on a wet surface. His comment came for the Big Bash League final which is scheduled to be played in Sydney. Lyon’s Sydney Sixers will play against either Melbourne Stars or Sydney Thunder in the final on Saturday. Although there are predictions of rain and thunderstorms for Sydney on Saturday which might see a shortened game in the day as well.

“Putting the balls in different grips and trying to work out what grips works best, what hand position works best to bowl the ball and perform my skills — it provides a new challenge. I think it’s exciting,” Nathan Lyon told cricket.com.au.

“It’s not ideal but I’ve got my method that I can hopefully cope with anything thrown my way. It’s just part of the game. I’ve played enough cricket that I can get around that now hopefully so I can make an impact in that game,” he added.

While he was asked if the Sixers could go for a quick bowler in place of a spinner keeping the weather forecast in m, Lyon said he don’t think that will happen.

“I don’t think so to be honest with you. What’s worked really well for the Sixers over the last few games I’ve been a part of has been our great bowling squad and the different options we have throughout our (team). That’s been one of the strengths of the Sixers in the last few games,” he shared.

“It’s definitely not a disadvantage,” he said. “You can look at the positives from both angles. If you’re the Melbourne Stars you get to keep playing games but we get to freshen up, get ready and make sure our fitness is in top order. It’s good to have a little break in between what’s been a hectic schedule. I don’t think it suits any side in particular,” Nathan Lyon concluded.
