That is not all; Lyon can also enter another rare club of 500 wickets in Test matches. Lyon is just 5 wickets away from taking 500 wickets in test matches for Australia. And he can achieve that in this match only.
Nathan Lyon: A Certainty
The fact that Lyon has not missed a single match is not just a testament to his fitness and performance; it also shows how efficient Cricket Australia is with its selection. While other teams keep experimenting with their bowling line-up, Australia never does that.
