AgenciesMelbourne: Australia's cricketers will just have to bear English taunts over the ball-tampering scandal on their England tour next month for the ODI series, off-spinner Nathan Lyon said. Lyon, who was recalled to the ODI squad for the first time since 2016, said he expected England fans to take full advantage of recent events. "I've never played in England where they haven't given it to us," Lyon said Tuesday. The series will be Australia's first since the ill-fated tour of South Africa, where the scandal-plagued visitors slumped to a 1-3 loss in the Test series. Lyon said he hoped the England tour could be a fresh start for the Australian team and cricket that had been rocked by the ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town.
