Following criticism in Australian media over alleged involvement in the 2018 Ball-tampering scandal, Pat Cummins Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon came together to quash such rumours in a joint statement.

Lyon also said that he ranks current skipper Tim Paine among the best he has played under and thinks the wicketkeeper-batsman is not going anywhere.

Nathan Lyon also said that he would love to bring the curator of the pitch at Ahmedabad to the SCG.

Lyon became only the 13th Australian player to have played 100 Tests.

Gill recalled how Australian players tried to intimidate him during the Sydney Test by sledging but he trusted his instincts and got over it.

In a heartfelt gesture, Ajinkya Rahane presented Nathan Lyon a signed jersey on the latter's 100th Test, following India's win over Australia at The Gabba.

Rohit had attempted to clear the midwicket region but succumbed to the flighted delivery from Lyon, and eventually miscued the shot.

Australia skipper Tim Paine has said he is not worried about the lack of wicket-taking form of Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc as he took the blame on himself for squandering opportunities to deny them wicket.

Former Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan believes that India's Ravichandran Ashwin can touch his 800-wicket record in Tests.

Lyon also said that the slow Sydney wicket did not allow him to bring the secret delivery during the drawn third Test.

Australia are not going to have an advantage, believes Nathan Lyon, despite playing the series-deciding fourth Test against an injury-ravaged Indian team at a venue where the home team's record is second to none.

Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj has set a new standard for calling out poor crowd behaviour, Australia's top off-spinner Nathan Lyon said, describing cricket as a sport for all with no room for racism or abuse of any form.

Lyon acknowledges that the stand-in Indian skipper was extremely good against him in the Boxing Day Test and the spinner has chalked out plans against Rahane for the Sydney Test.

The Oz spinner has called on the Indian team to 'stop complaining' about harsher restrictions for the fourth Test in Brisbane and 'suck it up and get on with it'.

After finishing at an intimidating position on Day 2, Rahane's men will be eyeing to mount a healthy lead over the hosts.

Lyon said that Australia have a couple of more surprises lined up for Pujara, who proved a major nemesis for the side on India's previous tour Down Under.

The seasoned off-spinner reaped the rewards for bowling wide off the crease, feels the former Australian skipper.

India looked pretty settled at 188 for three after electing to bat in the series-opener when a terrible mix-up between Ajinkya Rahane and Kohli resulted in a run out of the Indian captain.

Lyon's quicker delivery managed to get an inside edge of Pujara's bat before hitting the thigh pad and going to Marnus Labuschagne at short leg.

The former Australian Test cricketer feels Aussie pace attack sometimes gets wobbly while Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah are going to create problems for the home side with the pink ball.
