Despite the success of Saeed Ajmal against England with the ‘doosra’, Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon has said the delivery was not his cup of tea, according to espnstar.com. “I love bowling my stock ball, doing the change of pace and relying on natural variation,” said Lyon. “There’s no doosra for me. I rely on my ability to hang the ball in the air and get some drop and drift on it.” Lyon also said he would look to get the prized scalp of India’s Sachin Tendulkar in the fourth Test. “It’s a dream to bowl to Tendulkar and I’ll look to get him out.”
