The visitors secured a huge victory in the opening Test against Sri Lanka but there are some key achievements Lyon still wants to tick off | ESPN.com

Australia are not yet a great team but completing a series sweep in Sri Lanka would push them closer, according to spin bowler Nathan Lyon.

Despite an outstanding summer of red-ball cricket, Australia's star spinner Nathan Lyon believes his side still has key milestones to achieve before being considered a great team.

For the third time, Australia hold the series titles against all teams (excluding Afghanistan and Ireland). They are the current World Test Championship winners and also defeated India in the Border-Gavaskar series.

Australian spinner Nathan Lyon asserts that despite recent successes, the team still has key milestones to achieve to be considered truly great. Ahead of the Test against Sri Lanka, Lyon emphasizes the importance of ruthlessness and securing victories in India and an Ashes series win away from home.

Nathan Lyon says Australia is using their 2022 Test loss to Sri Lanka as motivation this time around.
