"We have just got to go out there and prepare the way the Australian team prepares and make sure come day one of this Test match, we're firing and hopefully carrying on from where we left off in Brissy," he added.

Lyon, a veteran of 70 Tests created a firestorm ahead of the first Test with his controversial "end careers" barb but the tweaker refused to admit that he had spooked the tourists. "It's a game of cricket, I don't think I spooked anyone," he said.

"I like it when opposition guys try to attack me and try to whack me out of the attack. Name of the game is to take wickets and score runs, so no doubt England will come prepared and they'll have a different plan for me compared to what they did in the first Test," he added. Australia lead the five-match Ashes rubber 1-0.
