‘Got the sh*ts’: Lyon spills on defiant Ashes act
Playing his 100th consecutive Test, the 36-year-old had captured nine wickets in three innings before the injury as Australia went on to take a 2-0 lead.“I knew straight away. I was gutted. I was devastated.”“He’s had cramp a couple of times before, so my first thought was I hope it’s just cramp,” Cummins said.In, Lyon revealed the dark thoughts running through his head as the seriousness of his injury set in.
Usman Khawaja said: “A part of me straight away was like, ‘Oh boy, this makes winning the Ashes a whole lot harder.” “The morning of Day 4 I said to Em, ‘Just so you know, I’m going to bat’. She looks at me, she goes, ‘You’re an idiot’.Pat Cummins was against the idea of Lyon batting, as was Mitchell Starc, who thought it was ridiculous Lyon was even attempting to bat when he couldn’t run between the wickets.“He’s like, ‘We’re going to have a look at it’. I was like, ‘No’.”
