Cricket News About Nathan Lyon
If you say the name of the best bowlers of recent times, his name is bound to come up. He is Australian spinner Nathan Lyon. Australia won by a huge margin of 360 runs against Pakistan in Perth on Sunday (AUS vs PAK 1st Test). And Nathan Lyon touched a big milestone in this match. Aussie off-spinner took place next to former Australian leg-spinner. He set this new record by taking the wicket of Pakistan's Faheem Ashraf in the second innings.
Lyon became the third Australian bowler
In the second innings of the match, Faheem Ashraf was LBW and Lyon got the 500th wicket of his Test career. He then took the wicket of Amir Jamal as well. The 36-year-old spinner is Australia's third-highest wicket-taker of all time. In 123 Tests, Lyon took his wickets at an average of 30.85. He has taken five wickets in 23 Tests, the Lions have the feat of taking four ten wickets in one match.
Lyon made his international cricket debut in 2011 against Sri Lanka in Galle, after scoring 100 consecutive Test matches. In the absence of Shane Warne, there was a void in Aussie cricket.

After Shane Warne (708), Glenn McGrath (563), Lyon became the third Australian bowler to take 500 Test wickets. If all goes well, Lyon will also break McGrath's record of 563 Test wickets.
