Lyon, who has a longstanding relationship with the Adelaide Oval, having worked as a member of the ground staff in the past, was eager at the prospect of becoming Australia’s second-highest Test wicket-taker on this ground.<\/p>\n
The spinner\u2019s tally of 562 wickets leaves him just one scalp behind currently second-placed McGrath (563). It has been a long wait for Lyon, who last claimed a Test wicket back in July.<\/p>\n
“I dare say, potentially, may be like a little fairytale, I guess, when you look at it with my history here, with working here and dreaming of playing Test cricket,” Lyon said.<\/p>\n
“My first viewing of my first-ever Test match here was on the roller back in 2010, funnily enough, against England. So for me to potentially overtake Glenn McGrath would be pretty incredible, but still a long way to go.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lyon, who has a longstanding relationship with the Adelaide Oval, having worked as a member of the ground…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":634857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,145387,145385,56086,145400,145396,145399,145397,11096,145398,145395,145401,145407,145406,145388,2192,145405,145390,145389,30566,145393,145394,145403,79,145402,145404,145392,145386,145391,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-634856","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-cricket-breaking-news","10":"tag-cricket-headlines-today","11":"tag-cricket-live-score","12":"tag-cricket-match-highlights-today","13":"tag-cricket-match-live-streaming-score","14":"tag-cricket-match-result-today","15":"tag-cricket-match-today-live","16":"tag-cricket-news","17":"tag-cricket-results-today","18":"tag-cricket-scorecard-live","19":"tag-cricket-series-updates","20":"tag-cricket-world-cup-live-score","21":"tag-cricket-world-cup-news","22":"tag-cricket-world-news","23":"tag-icc","24":"tag-icc-cricket-updates","25":"tag-international-cricket-live-score","26":"tag-international-cricket-news","27":"tag-latest-cricket-news","28":"tag-latest-cricket-scores","29":"tag-live-cricket-match-update","30":"tag-odi-cricket-live-score","31":"tag-sports","32":"tag-t20-cricket-live-score","33":"tag-test-cricket-live-score","34":"tag-today-cricket-live-score","35":"tag-today-cricket-news-update","36":"tag-todays-cricket-match-score","37":"tag-uk","38":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=634856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/634857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
