Australian spinner Nathan Lyon heads into another Ashes campaign on the cusp of joining an elite group of players with 500 Test wickets - and warning he can still get better. The 35-year old Lyon declared last month he believed "100%" that a whitewash of their hosts and arch-rivals was doable. Affectionately known as "Garry" after former Aussie Rules player Garry Lyon, he is one of the most prolific off-spinners to grace Test cricket. Two of his England rivals, Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad, are also among the seven players to have taken 500 or more Test wickets. But the opportunistic Lyon, who made his Test debut in 2011, only sees this as another chance to boost his wicket haul.
