Former Australia cricketer Trent Copeland backs Murphy to be Lyon’s replacement

 LONDON: Former Australia cricketer Trent Copeland believes Todd Murphy is the perfect replacement for injured Nathan Lyon should the veteran off-spinner be ruled out from the remainder of the Ashes series.

On Day Two, Lyon was running in to take a catch of Ben Duckett off the bowling of Cameron Green in the leg-side after tea in the 37th over, when he pulled up sharply while running towards the ball.

The injury was so serious that Lyon had to go off the field by taking the support of a member of the Australian team’s medical staff. IANS
