Nathan Lyon first ball in Test cricket

Australia's off spinner Nathan Lyon struck in his first ball, would you believe it! he got Sri Lanka's great batsman Kumar Sangakkara, of all men, what a first Test wicket to have, off your first ball. The ball had flight from round the wicket, grip, turn, bounce, Sanga hangs out the bat away from the body, with a bit of an open face, Clarke snaps it up low with a lunge to his left at slip, superb catch.
The ball was made much more grander with Tony Greig's commentary.

Nathan Michael Lyon is an Australian international cricketer. He made his Test debut in 2011 and plays domestic cricket for New South Wales. Lyon is an off spin bowler and a lower-order right-handed batsman. Considered the most successful off-spin bowler for Australia, Lyon holds the record for the most Test wickets taken by an Australian off-spin bowler, passing Hugh Trumble's 141 wickets in 2015.In January 2021, Lyon played in his 100th Test match during Australia's series against India.

Tony Greig is the legendary commentator who welcomed many legends like Sehwag, Lyon and others during their first moments of greatness on the TV screen.

[jaipandey]

He has 495 wickets now, and has also become the first ever spinner to play 100 consecutive tests

[abhishekpandey]

From working as a part of Ground staff team at Adelaide Oval in 2010 to being one of best spinners in World Cricket today, Lyon has come a long way. Classic example of how far a person can go by his sheer hard-work, discipline and attitude. Got mad respect for Garry!

[aryanrawat]
