Nathan Lyon declared he is feeling as good as ever following another landmark day in his illustrious career.

During the ongoing first Test match at Kingsmead in Durban, the Australian spin spearhead carved his name deeper into the history books alongside a legendary bowling cartel.

Aussie quartet Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood etched their names into the record books by becoming the first group in history to combine for 600 Test wickets in matches played together.

The extraordinary achievement underscores the rare longevity and sustained dominance of Australia's premier bowling attack.

Reflecting on his physical condition and love for the game, Lyon insisted that his enthusiasm remains entirely undimmed.

The veteran spinner continues to shoulder a heavy workload for his country with the same relentless appetite that marked his early international appearances.

Australia's campaign in South Africa moves forward with their bowling unit operating at the absolute peak of historical significance.

As the contest unfolds in Durban, Lyon and his fellow pace-bowling stalwarts look to add further chapters to their remarkable collective journey.
