Lyon 'proud' to become Australia's most prolific Test off-spinner

  • Intro:

    Reaction from Australia's Nathan Lyon and the West Indies' Jermaine Blackwood at the end of day two of the second Test in Kingston, Jamaica.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Nathan Lyon, Australia:

    "I think the difference between (the first Test) is probably this pitch here in Jamaica's probably a little bit faster than Dominica, so that's probably played into my hands a little bit more. They're able... able to keep them on the front foot rather than the back foot, so..."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Nathan Lyon, Australia:

    (On becoming Australia's most-prolific Test off-spinner).

    "Yeah, I'm pretty proud. It's a big moment. But as I keep saying, will always say, I'll look back at these things at the end of my career. But say that, I am proud of the achievement that's for sure, it's a big record to break, so yeah, hopefully I can add to it."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Jermaine Blackwood, West Indies:

    "Yeah, well it was disappointing for me getting out in that stage, crucial stage. As you can see I got it out and we lost the next wicket... so I'm very disappointed the way I got out in that stage."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Jermaine Blackwood, West Indies:

    "Well, definitely. I didn't make any runs in the first game, so I know this game's going to be a very crucial game to me because, as you see, Marlon Samuels is not playing and he's one of our key batsmen, so it's really up to me and Bravo and Kraigg Brathwaite to stand up and show some responsibility because the batting unit is young. So I know that I have to just come and put up my (inaudible) and bat long, and get some runs for the team."
