Ashes 2015: Nathan Lyon, the king of spin, could steal the show for us

I love our off-spinner Nathan Lyon. He has a bit of Bill Murray’s character Carl Spackler from the movie Caddyshack about him, and they are both former greenkeepers. It’s a bit of a Cinderella story too, the way he progressed to the Test side after his days as a young cricketer at the Adelaide Oval, opening the bowling for the South Australia Redbacks in the T20 competition – a form of the game  he rarely plays in these days. He is now the leading off-spinner in Australian Test history, with 153 wickets.
