The GOAT is back this summer to join the Sixers contingent in BBL|08!
Australia Test Spinner Nathan Lyon played four matches for the magenta squad last summer and claimed seven wickets which included a spell of 3/18. He has now taken a total of 34 wickets for the Sixers since he moved from the Strikers in 2014.
The right-arm off-spinner made his test debut in the Australia side in 2011 against Sri Lanka and has since played for his nation in all formats. Lyon holds the most Test wickets by an Australian off-spin bowler with 334 wickets and counting. He has taken remarkably take 12 four-wicket hauls and 14 five-wicket hauls in his 82 Test matches so far.
The achievement has earned him the nickname “The GOAT” by his teammates and Australian cricket fans. The famous phrase “Nice, Garry!” was sewn onto his Sixers playing shoes last season.
We hope to see Lyon make an appearance for the Sixers in BBL|08!
