Why drawing level with Lillee's Test wickets tally 'doesn't sit well' with Lyon

Even after becoming one of Australia’s most successful Test bowlers, Nathan Lyon remains as humble as ever.

With three wickets in the first innings at Lord’s as England were bowled out for 258, Lyon has drawn level with Australian fast bowling great Dennis Lillee on 355 Test wickets.

Only Glenn McGrath (563) and Shane Warne (708) have picked up more wickets for Australia in Test history.

However, Lyon told reporters after the day’s play it’s still odd for him to be associated with such greats.

With the ball already turning for the man often referred to as the GOAT, the Aussies will be looking to build a large first-innings lead at Lord’s in the hopes of giving Lyon plenty to work with in the second dig.
