Not a fitting tribute. In more ways than one.

Watching the expressions on their beady little Aussie faces as they were being donned in the jackets was priceless, though.

Golf has winners’ jackets, presumably so that the winner can walk straight into the men-only club rooms without breaking any of the fifty-seven dress rules.

In rugby, on the other hand, the more mud, sweat and blood on the shirt as the winner lifts the trophy, the better.

All other sports exist in the spectrum between golf and rugby. So football, being towards the more physical end, would not have winners’ jackets, whereas bowls, being a bit more, er, dull, would much better suit the use of jackets for its winners.

So, does cricket want to look more like golf, or more like rugby? The jackets say golf. I think rugby.

Is it wrong that I think they look quite nice? Jackets for EVERYTHING, I say! The losers of the ashes could have ones made of sackcloth.

Paine nicked Punter’s jacket, Punter nicked Ferguson’s and Ferguson pleaded victim status and Lee handed his over. Paine’s size 0 was the only one left.

Sometimes it’s a good thing that they don’t show overseas cricket on the TV.

Also, Brett Lee seems to have ended up with Ponting’s jacket.
