Melbourne, Jan 18 (IANS) Australian spinner Nathan Lyon will be taking tips from spin wizard Shane Warne as he gears up for the fourth and the final Test against India at his home ground Adelaide Oval from Tuesday.

Lyon, who will be playing a Test match at his home ground for the first time, knows it will be big challenge against the Indian batsmen on a turning track in Adelaide.

The 24-year-old missed the last Test in Perth, where Australia fielded a four-man pace attack.

The Herald Sun reported that Lyon will use a private meeting with Warne in Melbourne Thursday night to fine-tune his tactics ahead of a fourth Test.

“I have a good feeling about Thursday. Hopefully I will be able to have a good chat with Shane after the game about a few different things,” Lyon said. “I am looking forward to going up against the best in the world.”

“It has probably been the biggest challenge of my life and something I have really taken on board,” said Lyon. “It will really make me a better player after all.”

Warne had earlier worked with Lyon during May 2010 at the National Centre of Excellence while the off-spinner was still working hard in Canberra grade cricket.
