MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Spinner Nathan Lyon will be pinching himself when he dons the baggy green cap of Australia and joins the 100-test club for the fourth and final match against India at the Gabba on Friday.

The 33-year-old will become Australia's 13th cricketer to play 100 tests, joining an honour roll of greats topped by former captains Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh (168).
