''Spot on. We talk about bowling in partnerships and we probably haven't done that over the past two tests compared to the best way we've done it in the past," Lyon said.
''It is important for us to regroup and come out and bowl well in partnerships and give (Australian captain) Steve Smith that option of rotating his bowlers at will, not due to bad bowling."
Lyon has taken seven wickets in the two tests of the series, although he slightly fortunate to have that many.
He got both Mark Craig and Ross Taylor hitting out - and Williamson and BJ Watling to margin lbw decisions in the second innings in Brisbane.
No Mitchell Johnson - for all that he was ineffective for much of his last two tests and a far cry from his thunderous best against England in the 2013-14 - raises questions over Australia's fast-medium depth.
Siddle's no spring chicken but is a cagey performer. James Pattinson is fast but prone to injury while Josh Hazlewood carries fears of being over-bowled before the halfway stage of a lengthy summer.
As for Siddle's remarks about sitting on Williamson, playing a patient game, New Zealand coach Mike Hesson doubts it will impact on the world's equal second rated batsman.
''I do't think he'll read it for a start," Hesson said.
''Kane will just do the same thing he does normally, which is watch the ball and see what happens.
''Many sides have tried different things against Kane, some have been more successful than others, but he'll just go about his work as normal.
''He's a really unflustered sort of character, he never gets too far ahead of himself so you wouldn't know if he got a hundred in his last game or missed out, he just goes about his work. So he's in a good space."
A good innings in Adelaide should tip Williamson's batting average over 50, which by general consent, elevates him from the very good to the outstanding test batsmen.
