Australia are not yet a great team but completing a series sweep in Sri Lanka would push them closer, according to spin bowler Nathan Lyon.

Australia are likely to retain the same three-prong spin attack of Nathan Lyon, Matthew Kuhnemann and Todd Murphy for the second Test against Sri Lanka after they took a total of 17 wickets in the first.

They hold every available bilateral Test trophy as well as the World Test Championship crown and have qualified for this year’s final.

Australian spinner Nathan Lyon asserts that despite recent successes, the team still has key milestones to achieve to be considered truly great. Ahead of the Test against Sri Lanka, Lyon emphasizes the importance of ruthlessness and securing victories in India and an Ashes series win away from home.
