Nathan Lyon believes Australia would have won the 2023 Ashes series 4-0 if he hadn’t broken down with injury. But the veteran spinner says it’s still on his “bucket list” to be back for the 2027 Ashes series to earn the series win that was denied him when a calf injury forced him out of last year’s drawn series. Lyon, who is still looking for his first victory in English county cricket with Lancashire, reflected on his dramatic Ashes exit in an interview with BBC Sport .

He received applause from all quarters at the home of cricket, leaving him to finally realise he wasn’t the Australian bogeyman he had been built up to be in England. “My wife, her parents and a good family friend were all in the crowd in tears,” Lyon said. “I probably didn’t understand the level of respect that was shown there and then. “That’s something that I’m grateful to be able to look back on and reflect. I always thought the majority of England hates me.
