Nathan Lyon has spoken to Channel Seven\u2019s Mel McLaughlin on the edge of play about being dropped<\/a> – very tough interview on both counts and it got awkward at times with Lyon not mincing his words.<\/p>\n

McLaughlin: \u201cHow was the conversation with selection chair George Bailey?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyon: \u201cShort\u201d.<\/p>\n

McLaughlin: \u201cLike this one?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyon: \u201dYeah, absolutely filthy, but I can\u2019t do anything about it. I just hope I can play my role in making sure I get the guys ready and do whatever I can to make sure we get the right result here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyon found out about his demotion 90 minutes or so before play and upon inspecting the pitch, figured he could do some damage on the Gabba wicket he\u2019s performed well on throughout his career.<\/p>\n

When McLaughlin asked how being left out twice in three Tests and barely bowling in Perth had him feeling, Lyon just gave a bemused \u2018how do you think it feels\u2019 look, before downplaying an issue of communication with the Australian selectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunication is always there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just haven\u2019t had it in me to go and sit down with the coach and George at the moment, so that will happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not the first player to miss a match and I won\u2019t be the last. Obviously, I\u2019m pretty gutted because I know the role that I can play within Australian cricket, especially at a venue like this. I\u2019m extremely disappointed, but as I said, I\u2019ll do whatever I have to do to make sure these guys are up\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nathan Lyon has spoken to Channel Seven\u2019s Mel McLaughlin on the edge of play about being dropped –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":327065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-327064","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
