An episode in the upcoming season three of 'The Test' documentary, to be aired on Prime Video on May 24, reveals the aftermath of Lyon, playing his 100th consecutive Test match, breaking down in the dressing room after suffering a series-ending calf injury while fielding, though Australia eventually won the match to take a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I\u2019ve blown my calf to bits. I knew straight away. I was gutted. I was devastated. You\u2019re thinking the worst. Is your career done? But more importantly, you\u2019re thinking you\u2019ve let your teammates down.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I set a bar so high for me personally to play a massive role in this side, in this series. I want to be the best in the world \u2026 and I feel like I could have made a difference so I that\u2019s where the emotion comes from,\" said Lyon in the documentary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cummins was initially hopeful Lyon could play in the rest of the series. \u201cHe\u2019s had cramp a couple of times before, so my first thought was I hope it\u2019s just cramp,\" Cummins said. Veteran opener Usman Khawaja added, \u201cA part of me straight away was like, \u2018Oh boy, this makes winning the Ashes a whole lot harder.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The day after he injured his calf, Lyon said to his wife Emma that he would try batting for Australia in the second innings, a suggestion she was against of. \"The morning of Day 4, I said to Em, \u2018Just so you know, I\u2019m going to bat\u2019. She looks at me, she goes, \u2018You\u2019re an idiot\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I said, \u2018What you do you mean? I'm going to bat. She goes, \u2018You can\u2019t even get in the shower\u2019.\" Even Cummins had the same view. \u201cI said no you shouldn\u2019t bat. He\u2019s like, \u2018We\u2019re going to have a look at it\u2019. I was like, \u2018No\u2019.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lyon ended putting a stand of 15 runs with Mitchell Starc and made four off 13 balls, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. \u201cWhat is going on here? This peanut\u2019s walking out to bat. Not walking, he\u2019s hobbling out, using his bat as a crutch,\" said Starc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cummins added, \"I couldn't watch and I\u2019ve never had that before. He\u2019s so injured, to see him be vulnerable out there, it\u2019s hard to watch. Ronny (head coach Andrew McDonald) was the same, we were like this is not good.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He would end by saying, \"Gaz well done mate that was courageous, all of us were a bit worried but you ran out there before we could catch you.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cummins-australia-team-revealed-to-be-against-the-idea-of-lyon-batting-with-injured-calf-in-lords-test.jpg", "alt_img": "Cummins & Australia team revealed to be against the idea of Lyon batting with injured calf in Lord\u2019s", "alt_title": "Ashes: Lyon criticises suggestions he went out to bat to possibly avail concussion sub", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Cummins & Australia Team Revealed To Be Against The Idea Of Lyon Batting With Injured Calf In Lord\u2019s Test On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Cummins & Australia Team Revealed To Be Against The Idea Of Lyon Batting With Injured Calf In Lord\u2019s Test, New Delhi: Despite injuring his calf while fielding during last year\u2019s second Ashes Test at Lord\u2019s, veteran Australia off-spinner Nathan.", "seo_keywords": "New Delhi, Ashes Test, Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins, The Test, Prime Video, Usman Khawaja, Even Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Andrew McDonald", "tag": "", "tagging": "New Delhi, Ashes Test, Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins, The Test, Prime Video, Usman Khawaja, Even Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Andrew McDonald", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "cummins-australia-team-revealed-to-be-against-the-idea-of-lyon-batting-with-injured-calf-in-lords-test", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "969", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-05-20 16:58:04", "updated": "2024-05-20 16:58:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "New Delhi, Ashes Test, Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins, The Test, Prime Video, Usman Khawaja, Even Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Andrew McDonald", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-05-20 16:58:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/cummins-australia-team-revealed-to-be-against-the-idea-of-lyon-batting-with-injured-calf-in-lords-test-145024" }
