He is close to 400 but he has had to play many, many matches to get there,&quot;<\/strong> he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lyon will be playing his 100th Test in the fourth and final match of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series at The Gabba beginning Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lyon, 33, has 396 wickets compared to 34-year-old Ashwin&#39;s 377.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, legendary leg-spinner Shane Warne Warne believes Lyon can scalp 600-650 wickets if he remains injury free.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>&quot;If he keeps himself injury free, I think he could easily go on and play for another five years,&quot;<\/strong> Warne wrote in a column for the Herald Sun.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;That&#39;s approximately another 50 Tests, and if he continues to take four wickets per game, then that is another 200 - or maybe 250 if he has a golden five years - Test wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>&quot;You put that on top of his 400 and he&#39;s in the 600-650 wicket club at 38 years of age. And if he&#39;s still going well then he might have a crack at me and Murali, which would be awesome to see,&quot;<\/strong> he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Muralitharan sits at the top of the chart in the list of leading wicket-takers in Test cricket with 800 scalps. He is followed by Warne (708) and Anil Kumble (619).<\/p>\r\n",
