Australia made two changes for the pink-ball Test at the Gabba despite winning the first Test. Michael Neser came in for Lyon, and Josh Inglis replaced the injured Usman Khawaja. Australia went with a full pace attack, featuring Neser, Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, Brendan Doggett, and Cameron Green in Brisbane.
Lyon is Australia’s third-highest Test wicket-taker. He is also second on the all-time list for wickets in day-night Tests. However, he could not secure a spot in the XI for the ongoing pink-ball match.
“Very much it’s a one-Test decision – Nath will play in Adelaide. It’s about how you structure up the resources and how they’re going to be used under different conditions," Bailey said.
