Ashes 2017/18, 2nd Test: Hits and misses

Hit: Nathan Lyon

Nathan Lyon is having the time of his life. The spinner had quite a lot to say before the start of the series and now, he is doing all the talking on the field as well.

With a fifer in the first match, Lyon emerged as a massive player in the second Test as well, completely controlling the game from one end and taking wickets.

In the first innings, Lyon claimed four crucial wickets and prevented England from taking a lead.

Lyon, who dismissed Alastair Cook in both the innings, was quite effective against the left-handers and ended up taking six wickets in the match and becoming the leading wicket-taker in Test cricket in 2017 with 55.
