Ah yes, the old 'cat that got the cream' fun and games.........I like to think that was subconsciously on his mind when he ****ed up the run out at Headingley.

I don't think this is likely at all tbh.

A lot might depend on who else goes at the time. They won't want to lose 4 or5 players at once but at his age his body may pack up very quickly.
Why not, he'll be 38 and after Ashes is a 9 month break from tests so he'll be almost 39 before playing again

He's a finger spinner and has had very few injury problems in his career. Physically he could keep going for years yet.

Ashwin you'd have said the same about 12 months ago.
Though you'd think they'd like him to carry on by time Khawaja, Smith, Starc and Hazlewood have all gone.

Definitely, I don't think Lyon will retire, he will have to be forced out by Australia, unlike most cricketers , his Test career is all he has going for him in cricket so he'll be keen to play as much as possible
