Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon has spoken about England’s wrath against the Baggie Green in the ongoing ODI series that the home side lead 4-0. England have not only won four games on the trot but have desecrated the Aussies in a format where they are reigning world champions.

Nathan Lyon, meanwhile, stated that Australia’s defeat at the hands of the number one ODI side in the world has been a learning curve for the Aussie bowlers. With the World Cup coming up within just under a year, Lyon thinks that being able to play under pressure is a very important thing.

"I think it's been a great learning curve and opportunity for all the bowlers," Lyon said in Manchester on Saturday (June 23). "It's been great for them to learn to perform under pressure because playing in a World Cup - what I want to do, what everyone else in this squad wants to do - that's what you're going to come up against, being under pressure. To compete and perform under pressure, that's the biggest thing," he added.

Lyon, who has been more of a Test bowler than a limited overs specialist, added that his role in the side is not only of a bowler but also of a mentor as he speaks to the others about spin bowling.

"If I can hopefully share my experiences, that can help turn their learning around quicker. I've been able to sit down with Ashton and Travis (Head) and D'Arcy Short and Maxi (Glenn Maxwell) and just talk about spin bowling. It probably has been a big mentoring role in that side of things. I've enjoyed doing that part of it, and I feel like it helps my game as well, talking about spin bowling."

Australia play their 5^th ODI against England later today as the latter are just a victory away from completing a whitewash.
