'There’s Plenty Of Petrol Still In The Tank', Says Berry After Lyon’s Entry To 500 Test Wickets Club
As South Australia: Former cricketer Darren Berry believes Nathan Lyon can continue to do more in Test cricket after entering the 500 Test wickets club, saying "there’s plenty of petrol still left in his tank".
In the first Test at Perth against Pakistan, Lyon, who made his Test debut in 2011, became the third Australian and eighth bowler overall to take more than 500 Test wickets. As South Australia head coach, Berry was the person who spotted Lyon when the off-spinner was a member of the ground staff at Adelaide Oval.
"I was sitting there last night thinking, ‘Wow, that kid that was rolling the wickets (is now here)’. The story is not just because it was Nathan Lyon and I was the coach. It was an opportunity, all I provided was an opportunity for this kid and he's taken it and run with it.
