PERFORMER OF THE DAY: Nathan Lyon
The talk may have been about the home spinners, but it was visiting off-spinner Nathan Lyon who lorded it above his Bangladesh counterparts. Not satisfied with his nine-wicket match haul in the spinners' paradise of Mirpur, he brought all his experience into play to take six wickets for 60 in the Chittagong Test yesterday, giving him a match haul of 13 for 154, the best match figures by an Australian bowler in Asia. His 22 wickets is also the joint second-highest with Muttiah Muralidaran for a two-match series. Records aside, he was the difference between the sides in the two-match series.
