The Hindu
Lyon echoes mates’ support for ‘best keeper in the world’
Australia’s bowlers want Tim Paine behind the stumps for the first Ashes Test against England because he is “the best keeper in the world”, spinner Nathan Lyon said on Thursday.
Paine quit as Test captain in disgrace last week over a text message scandal, but is keen to keep playing.
Selectors must decide whether to cut him loose and start afresh or show loyalty amid a groundswell of support to keep him in the team for the opening clash in Brisbane on December 8.
