Airport; Procedure
Upon landing; Tower briefly told us to stop on runway; then immediately told us disregard. Another aircraft flew by in front of us. I assumed he was landing Runway 18L MEM; but the Captain said he was on a go-around. I can't be sure because we were on different Tower frequencies. Upon landing on MEM Runway 27; the aircraft landing on Runway 18L was told to go-around. The Tower told us upon touchdown to stop on the runway then disregard. I saw the south landing aircraft flash by but because he was on a different Tower frequency I was not truly aware of what he was actually doing until Captain and I discussed this later. Because I was the Pilot Flying my focus was on aircraft control more than communications; but the instruction from the Tower came right as the Captain was taking the airplane; and I was assuming the radios. It is not normal to receive a communication from Tower at this point in the landing; so it caught me by surprise. We asked the Tower if there was a problem; and he said no; not with us; but with him. He indicated to us that he had no problem with what we did. I believe the Tower's sequencing got a little out of sync. They initially wanted us to widen out our turn to final on Runway 27 and go behind someone else then he changed his mind and told us to turn to final and keep speed up; after we began a slow down. We sped up a bit then had to reduce to configure. It never became clear to me where exactly the mix up originated.
