The incident occurred during a Sheffield Shield game between New South Wales and Queensland at Allan Border Field in Brisbane, when a fire-alarm led to the game being halted for half an hour and even the fire departဣment had to be♋ disturbed.
Later, it was found that the alar✃m was set-off by Nathan Lyon’s burnt toast in the changing room’s kitchen and it was🧸 enough to cause a panic.
“(The toast) popped up first and I wasn’t happy so I put it back down and Iꦓ got carried away watching the cricket. There’s a first for everything. I was getting a bit bored in the change-rooms," Lyon was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
However, given the Aussie pedigree, the spinner found humour in this incident as well.
“Steven Smith alread꧋y said he’s going to cover i🎃t (the fire-truck call-out fee),” Lyon said.
New South Wales needed just 18 runs for the win but Lyon’s kitchen antics forced them to have early tea before they could go ou൲t onto the field again. However, once everything was sorted out, Kurtis Patterson and Daniel Hughes returned to the pitch and completed a 6-wicket win over Queensland.
