Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon has jumped five places to Australia in the first Test against Pakistan, leaving behind Brett Lee in the first Test, this spinner equaled great fast bowler Brett Lee in this list. At this time Lee and Leon both have 310 wickets in Test cricket.
Leone took 2-2 wickets in both innings of the first Test. By taking Asad Shafiid out, they made the number 310 of their wickets. Now Australia's 4 bowlers are ahead of Leone. Shane Warne has taken 708 Test wickets while Glenn McGrath has 563 Test wickets. Dennis Lille has taken 355 wickets while bowling on behalf of Australia. At the fourth place, Mitchell Johnson has taken 313 wickets in Test cricket.
On this achievement of Leone, Brett Lee said that I am very happy with his performance. I hope he has made more than 400 wickets in Test cricket. If Leone does this, he will be one of Australia's greatest players.
Former Australia captain Mark Waugh also said that Leon is one of the greatest spinners of the world, rather than India. We are not even telling their records. Waugh said that he can now play comfortably for 3-4 years and hopefully he will easily cross the 400-wicket mark.
If he is able to do so, then he will become the third most successful Australian bowler behind Mitchell Johnson and Dennis Lillee. He will be the most successful bowler after fast bowler Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne.
Brett Lee's prediction, this Test bowler will take 400 wickets in Test cricket!
