Overview

  • The replacement cap vanished between a pre-series photo shoot and the toss before the opening Test and has yet to be found
  • Cummins had chosen a new Albion-made cap over repairing his 2011 debut Baggy Green, breaking with long-standing team tradition
  • Despite the wardrobe mishap, Cummins claimed three wickets and Josh Hazlewood’s five-for in the second innings sealed the win
  • Baggy Green caps are awarded at Test debut and usually worn throughout careers, and similar losses have struck David Warner and Greg Chappell
  • Albion-manufactured Baggy Greens became scarce after 2016, making Cummins’ missing cap one of the last of its kind
