The 27-year-old took 1/20 and 2/67 in the first Test in Dominica to draw level with Trumble, but typically the offie downplayed the significance of passing a record that has stood for 111 years when he spoke ahead of last week's series opener.

"I'm not worried about personal numbers. I'll sit back at the end of my career with my family and friends and have a beer over that. I'm worried about winning the Test series for Australia. That's all I care about," Lyon had said.
