Q: Between us, Malcolm Marshall and I played 81 Tests, took 376 Test wickets and won a First Grade Premiership together for Waverley in the Sydney Grade Competition in 1991-1992.
At the beginning of that 1991-1992 season, my goals were to try and force my way into the First Grade side, have fun and have a bit of success along the way. Standard summer goals really.
By the end of the season, we’d won a premiership and I opened the bowling with someone that many have described as the greatest and most feared fast bowler of all time, Malcolm Marshall. What a summer!

Q: On behalf of Driver Avenue Group we’d like to congratulate Nathan Lyon on a great job in Australia’s 3rd Test win over India, a great Test win.
In taking 8 for 64 in India’s 2nd innings of the 3rd Test in India Nathan achieved:
• Player of the Match
• 479 Test Wickets (238 home; 241 away)
• the 2nd best figures ever for Australia in Tests against India behind his own 8 for 50 in Bengaluru during the 2017 tour.
• Become the only Australian spinner to take 8 wickets in a test innings twice.
• Become the leading wicket taker of all time in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
• The most Test wickets in Asia by a player from outside the continent.
• Taken more five-wicket hauls against India than any other bowler.
That’s a big day out!
Well done, Nathan 👏👏👏

Q: People talk about the importance of winning the toss and batting first in Test cricket in India.
In the 3 Tests so far, India v Australia, the team that has won the toss and batted first has lost the Test match.
Has this happened before in India?
