Born Tough: The Nathan Lyon story
Hindustan TimesCanberra: When Michael Hussey retired all those years ago in January 2013, Australia went looking for its new songmaster — the man who would rouse the players with a rendition of the team’s victory song, Under the Southern Cross I Stand, and they eventually settled on Nathan Lyon. But Nathan, who was a thin, scrawny fellow then, had a particularly good game against them; and at some point after the game he signed off on the notice board as ‘The Dragon Killer’.” “He was very determined in everything he did and was clearly going to be a very good cricketer. “Nathan’s biggest key in the past has been his drift and bounce but he also compliments some very, very good fast bowling line-ups,” said Brendan, who is three years older. Even after all these years, in his heart of hearts, Nathan still remains the same kid who’ll put cricket before, family aside, everything else.
