“We want to become a great Australian team. We’re on that journey, we’re not there yet. That’s our end goal. Part of that journey is making sure that when we close the window, we nail it shut. It’s all about being ruthless and doing our best thing for long periods of time,” said Nathan Lyon.<\/p>\n

“Well, there’s a few things, we haven’t won in India, We’ve retained the last two Ashes (via drawn series), away. So, there’s a few things that for me, this is only me and my thoughts as well. But, we’ve got some great players within that change room. There’s no point hiding behind that, you look at Smithy (Steve Smith) bringing up 10,000 (runs),” said the off-spinner.<\/p>\n

“You’ve got Starcy (Mitchell Starc) in my eyes, who’s got around the corner from Test matches. So, there’s great players, but I feel like we are on the journey to become a great Australian team. And I think that’s an incredible journey to be a part of it,” he added.<\/p>\n

Nathan Lyon Praise Fellow Australian Spinners<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nathan Lyon has some words of praise for compatriots Todd Murphy and Matt Kuhnemann, as the legendary spinner hails them as great teammates by stating that they are ‘pushing him to perform better’.<\/p>\n

“We’re three totally different bowlers with three totally different mindsets as well. I feel like I’m learning off Todd and Matt, and I feel like they’re pushing me to try and get better as well. Hopefully I’m passing on a little bit of knowledge here and there,” said the 37-year-old.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
