    A fortnight after being "filthy" at being snubbed, Nathan Lyon has become Australia's second-highest wicket-taker in test cricket

    A fortnight after being "filthy" at being snubbed, Nathan Lyon has become Australia's second-highest wicket-taker in test cricket


    Lyon snared two wickets in four balls in his first over of the third Ashes test against England at Adelaide Oval, a venue where he was once a groundsman.

    The fresh victims moved Lyon's career tally to 564 Test wickets, one more than paceman Glenn McGrath.

    Only legspinner Shane Warne - with 708 - has claimed more test scalps for Australia.
