India vs England: Australia spinner Nathan Lyon slams those 'crying over' turning Motera pitch in 3rd Test
17 wickets fell on the second day of the match which the hosts won by 10 wickets to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the four-Test series. As England batsmen were dismissed for 81 in their second innings with all ten wickets being picked up by spinners.

Several cricket experts came down heavily upon BCCI for laying down a rank-turner and with former England cricketer Michael Vaughan advising the ICC to put a check on countries like India from producing such tracks. Vaughan even opined that if India is allowed to “get away” with producing pitches that are not deemed good enough for Test cricket, the more “toothless” the ICC will look.
However, the Australia tweaker seemed to have differed with those criticising the pitch and said that when teams get bowled out for low scores on a seaming wicket, there is hardly any criticism but as soon a turning track creates a problem for the batsmen, everyone starts “crying” about it.
