Australian offspinner Nathan Lyon, tipped to return to the team in the final Test, arrived every morning during last summer's Adelaide Test to cut the outfield, even though his main job was to tend to the outside ovals.
However, greenkeeping is the last thing on Lyon's mind this time. "It (last summer's Adelaide Test) was my first ever Test match and rocking up at 5.30 every morning to cut the ground was something pretty special," Lyon was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald. "But now, I'm totally focused on the Test match."

Australian coach Mickey Arthur said England team has started feeling the pressure that comes with being the world's No.1 Test nation.
