Can't stop thinking about this, about how brilliant it is, and about how wonderfully well it's worked. An absolutely top-drawer piece of alpha shithousery and every media outlet responding with "Classy touch 👏 👏 👏" https://twitter.com/btsportcricket/status/1351473437441728514
So many elements to it. Even India surely can't believe their luck with how far Lyon has to walk to get it. All puts me in mind of every Partridge studio set, where everything is slightly too far apart and every walk across it takes an excruciating few seconds too long.
Then there's Rahane summoning him to collect it when he obviously doesn't want to. Respect for Rahane through the roof here.
Love to know whose idea this was, and also whose idea it was to force Lyon to come and collect it and have to be gracious in front of everyone. Because that's what really elevates it.
The "Classy touch" would just have been to give it to him in the rooms. This is shithousery ingeniously masked as classiness. Which is brilliant in and of itself.
But especially so here because shithousery under cover of classiness is the precise trick Australia have tried and so spectacularly failed to pull off since Cape Town.
Winning the series was quite good too, I suppose.
