Lyon 'surprised' by Anderson retirement

Nathan Lyon, a spinner for Australia, says he is "surprised" that James Anderson is quitting Test cricket, considering that Anderson would still rank as England's "best bowler".

The England management informed pace bowler Anderson, 41, that they wish to focus on the future, thus he will conclude his illustrious international career in the first Test match against the West Indies in July.

In the County Championship, Lyon is probably going to partner with Anderson for Lancashire ahead of the Englishman's last Test match.
