PERTH, Australia: Australian spinner Nathan Lyon said there was nothing untoward in the bumper barrage New Zealand served up in the first Test in Perth, and he expects more of the same.

Wade let the short balls hit him on several occasions as the New Zealand tactic worked and Australia lost seven wickets for 58 runs in the second innings. Although he's the one man in the Australian bowling attack who doesn't have the option to fight fire with fire, Lyon said the likely prospect of more hostile bowling in the next two Tests didn't bother him."We were playing against the number two team in the world and they've had success playing the brand of cricket they're playing at the moment.

Adding extra spice to the prospect of more challenges with short bowling for the Australian batsmen is the state of the MCG wicket for the second Test, starting on Dec 26.
