Nathan Lyon might not be currently present in the Australian XI in the UK but he will be smiling in some corner after seeing Pat Cummins' perfectly executed off-spin delivery to send back English opener Jonny Bairstow in the series decider between England and Australia. I mean, it's much better to take these things with a giggle or two than feeling threatened as there is nothing which the big quick Pat Cummins can't do. Dare I say, bring back the Pat Cummins for Prime Minister campaign in action.
Returning to bowl a fresh spell, Pat Cummins rolled his fingers on the very first delivery of the 41st over, and much to the awe of everyone, the ball spun in sharply and pierced the big gap between the bat and pad to disturb the woodwork of the centurion Jonny Bairstow.
Bairstow's reaction said it all as he looked shell-shocked, staring back at Cummins, who had taken the avatar of Nathan Lyon. Perhaps that must have been the picture that the English opener would have envisaged after he got conned for all his money that too in broad daylight by the man, the myth, the legend, PAT CUMMINS. Bairstow made a stunning 112 before getting out.

Well played Bairstow! You took to a great position!

Not sure what's better here - Pat Cummins' off-cutter to bowl Jonny Bairstow, or the slow pan up to a bewildered Bairstow trying to figure out what just happened
