Can Bat, Can Bowl: Nathan Lyon picks up 100th Test wicket, yet to be dismissed this series Nathan Lyon has set a new precedent in the Can Bat, Can Bowl stakes. NATHAN Lyon may have become just the sixth Australian off-spinner to reach 100 Test wickets, but he achieved an even higher honour than that on day three of the Boxing Day Test. He became the first man in the history of our 'Can Bat, Can Bowl' series to receive both awards on the same day. Can Bat - Nathan Lyon (18 not out) Nathan Lyon hits out, but doesn't get out, early on day three at the MCG. Lyon gets the gong not so much for the 18 runs, but for the 'not out' at the end of them. The Aussie off-spinner is still yet to give up his wicket so far in this series, continuing to frustrate the English bowlers with his mixture of solid defence and extremely loose attacking strokes. He opted for more of the latter early on day three, playing an array of lofted cut shots, most of which he didn't actually connect with, and even a couple of deft chips over mid-off. Most importantly, he stuck around long enough to allow Brad Haddin to strike a fair few lusty blows on his way to 65, as the pair combined for a last-wicket partnership of 40. But the best from Lyon was still yet to come. Nathan Lyon picks up his 100th Test wicket as Australia rip through the English tail late on Day 3 of the Fourth Ashes Test. Can Bowl - Nathan Lyon (5-50) Aussie skipper Michael Clarke showed great faith in Lyon by bringing him into the attack just four overs into England's innings. While that move didn't pay off, the NSW off-spinner eventually got into the wickets when he removed Ian Bell for a golden duck. That came at the end of a mini-collapse from England in which they lost three wickets for just one run, and unfortunately tourists it wasn't the only time that happened on Saturday. The second collapse was entirely down to Lyon, as he ran through England's lower order, collecting his 100th and 101st Test scalps on the way and earning his first five-wicket haul on home soil. It was tremendous reward for a man that prefers to let others take the limelight, but at the MCG today he was front and centre. Nathan Lyon celebrates after dismissing Stuart Broad, his 100th Test wicket.
