#4 Nathan Lyon all over the Poms

Australia v India - 1st Test: Day 5
Lyon has been a monumental figure for Australia in the Ashes thus far

From effecting stupendous run-outs and intimidating the visitors in the press to bowling sensational spells, Nathan Lyon has been the face of Australia's Ashes campaign thus far. On Monday, he took things up a notch with an outstanding return catch to send back his rival, Moeen Ali.

A flighted delivery found the edge of Moeen's bat and Lyon flew to his left, caught the ball in front of the non-striker while fully horizontal in the air to send the Aussies into a frenzy. Fondly called the Greatest of All Time (GOAT), Lyon has lived up to his nickname in the series thus far. He is now the highest wicket-taker in Tests in 2017.
