| We panicked in India, saw what happened: Nathan Lyon ahead of WTC final, Ashes | | | agencies
NEW DELHI, May 15: Premier Australian spinner Nathan Lyon doesn't want his team to panic in the upcoming Ashes like it did during the Border Gavaskar Trophy in India earlier this year The Australians lost the series in India 1-2. A classic example of them panicking was their tactics against Indian spinners in the Delhi Test where most batters fell to the sweeping shot on a rank turner. Before the Ashes beginning June 16, India and Australia will fight for the World Test Championship trophy with the final scheduled at the Oval from June 7. "We shouldn't panic anyway. We panicked in India and we saw what happened. If we can learn from that experience and play our way and our brand it will be okay," Lyon told AAP.
England have redefined Test cricket with their uber aggressive style of play, winning 10 out of their 12 Tests in the past year.
"You look at the way they played against New Zealand, South Africa and Pakistan, they have been able to force the opposition into panicking.
