Nathan Lyon says the sad occasion "hit everyone pretty hard" after Australia and South Africa Test cricketers paid tribute to the two Queensland police officers and a local resident who were shot dead in a horrific attack in rural Queensland.
The two sides wore black armbands and a minute's silence was observed before the first Test at the Gabba on Saturday in tribute to constables Matthew Arnold, 26, and Rachel McCrow, 29, along with local man Alan Dare.
