    'It's Been A Long Time Coming': Nathan Lyon On His 400th Test Wicket

    By IANS News December 11, 2021 • 17:39 PM View: 1458

    Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon said that picking his 400th wicket in Test cricket was 'a long time coming'. Lyon became the 17th bowler to reach the landmark of 400 Test wickets on day four of the first Ashes Test at The Gabba on Saturday. Lyon reached the milestone when he dismissed Dawid Malan, caught by Marnus Labuschagne at silly mid-off.

    It took the 34-year-old 326 days and 288 balls in jumping from 399th to 400th Test wicket. "Thank you. It's been a long time coming, I dare say. It's pretty amazing to get that breakthrough and start off a pretty fantastic session here this morning. Pretty stoked with it," Lyon said to cricket.com.au in a clip posted on Twitter.
