Nathan Lyon admits the chance to bowl alongside Ashes rival James Anderson was part of the reason for his arrival in county cricket.
Lancashire pulled off a major coup by signing Australia바카라s record-breaking off-spinner on an overseas deal and, despite only touching down in the country on Tuesday, he goes straight into the squad for Friday바카라s curtain-raiser against defending champions Surrey.
Much has been made of the possibility of Lyon forging a mentor relationship with Tom Hartley, following the slow left-armer바카라s emergence for England this winter, but Lyon has revealed it was the chance to go into battle against an old adversary that really attracted him to Emirates Old Trafford.
Anderson, the most prolific seamer of all time, is currently resting up after his exertions in the five-match series against India but the prospect of two greats with a combined 1,230 wickets to their name is already being teased.
바카라That would be pretty amazing. I바카라d be lying if I said that opportunity coming around wasn바카라t a big part of the reason I signed,바카라 he told BBC Radio Lancashire.
바카라He바카라s one of the greatest, if not the greatest, fast bowler to have played the game. I바카라ve had some incredible battles against him. I admire his skill, there바카라s nothing but respect from my end for what he바카라s been able to do for English cricket but also world cricket inspiring young boys and girls to play the game.
바카라If the opportunity comes around that I get to bowl in tandem with him and share a changing room with him it will be pretty special, so I바카라m looking forward to that."
Lyon was initially brought in for the entire season, across all formats, but has seen his schedule cut to seven first-class games after a call was made by Cricket Australia over his workload management.
바카라It바카라s definitely not my call, that바카라s nature of the beast,바카라 he said.
바카라CA have come over the top and said they wanted to manage me and hopefully extend my career. My hands are tied.바카라
