Top 10 wicket-takers in Test cricket history: Nathan Lyon climbs list as Australia beat India

Sports Mole challenges you to name the top 10 wicket-takers in the history of Test cricket.

Australia legend Nathan Lyon has climbed up a place in the all-time list of Test wicket-takers following his display in his country's victory over India.

The Baggy Greens closed out 2024 with a 184-run win over India at the MCG, with Lyon claiming five wickets over the two India innings.

That haul lifts him above a recently-retired contemporary into seventh in the all-time list, and the 37-year-old could move even higher in 2025.

A fellow legendary Australian is next in his sights and, while catching some of the other names on the list may be beyond him in what is left of his career, a top-five finish is not beyond the realms of possibility.

So we have given you one of the names - and here Sports Mole is challenging you to name the rest of the top 10 wicket-takers in Test cricket history.

How many of them can you get?
