REUTERS: The Manchester crowd did everything to remind Nathan Lyon of his fumbled run-out in the dying moments of England's frenetic Ashes test win at Headingley but for the Australian off-spinner it was just"white noise" after the first couple of overs.
"When you're a professional sportsman, your job is to come out and bowl well, and compete against whoever you're playing. I didn't really feel it or hear it at the back end , so it doesn't worry me."We're sitting up there and we're going to have a couple of beers tonight and celebrate because the urn is coming home. I'm not sure what the 9,000 people in that stand are doing tonight.
The 31-year-old laid on the ground as England completed their win and appeared inconsolable before captain Tim Paine literally picked him up off the turf."I wear my heart on my sleeve, and playing cricket for Australia means everything for me," said Lyon, who bowled on in Manchester despite suffering an injury to his bowling hand during England's first innings.
