Australian cricketer Nathan Lyon was honoured at Adelaide Oval ahead of Ashes Test three in the city. Lyon is close to surpassing Glenn McGrath's test wickets record.

Adelaide

Nathan Lyon was inducted into the Adelaide Oval's Avenue of Honour, marking a significant milestone in his cricket career. Lyon, who once worked as ground staff at the venue, expressed pride in both his history and achievements at the Oval. He addressed his recent omission from the Brisbane test, stating he has nothing to prove after playing 140 test matches and remains motivated as he approaches Glenn McGrath's all-time test wickets tally.

Preparations for the next match saw Ousmane Kouacha and Travis Head in focus during training, while Pat Cummins showed no signs of injury. England's batsmen reflected on their performance and aggressive approach, with Harry Brook admitting to poor dismissals during the summer.

Nathan Lyon inducted into Adelaide Oval's Avenue of Honour

Nathan Lyon's career spinning full circle at Adelaide Oval, having famously worked as part of the ground staff in 2010, today he was inducted into the Oval's Avenue of Honour. I thoroughly think it's the best oval in the world. I thought that when I was working here with Damien, but then to be able to play cricket out here for a number of years now, it's an amazing honour. Lyon didn't hide his disappointment at his axing in Brisbane, but the spinner says there's no chip on his shoulder. No, I've played 140 test matches. I feel like I don't have a point to prove to anyone. As I said, I'm very clear on my role within this Australian cricket team. But there's still very clearly fire in the belly, with a chance to make history. Lyon is just one wicket shy of Glenn McGrath's all-time test wickets tally, and then it's just Shane Warne ahead. Potentially it may be like a little fairy tale, I guess, when you look at it, with my history here, with working here, and the dream of playing test cricket, and viewing my first ever test match here was on the roller here. Ousmane Kouacha could come back into focus in Adelaide, he made his case against the selectors in the nets today, however it was Travis Head who was facing the new ball. Pat Cummins, meanwhile, was showing no signs of his back injury, on the brink of an Asher's humiliation, England's batsmen are wondering if baseball needs to be more of a sometimes food. Sometimes I've got to rein it in a little bit, learn when to absorb the pressure a little bit more, and then realise when the opportunity arises to put pressure back on them. Brook, not blind to the nature of his dismissals this summer. No, they were shocking shots, I admit that every day of the week, especially that one in Perth, it was nearly a bounce and I've tried to drive it, it was just bad batting. Lucas Rinaldo, 10 News.
