Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann dominated in tandem in Sri Lanka in February and they might be expected to do it all again in Australia's three-Test series against West Indies starting on Wednesday night.

The spin duo join Jack Paynter in Barbados ahead of the first Test to talk about what they've learned from one another, what they know about the conditions and the opposition and the perks of travelling to the Caribbean.

The chat begins at 2:45.
