Steve Smith certainly produced some eye-catching performances for Australia during the 2019 Ashes.
The world's top-ranked batsman in the longest format excelled in the five-match series, contributing 774 runs at an average of 110.57, including a double century in the fourth Test.
His fabulous knock of 211 laid the foundations for an Australia victory at Old Trafford – a result that put it 2-1 up in the series and, with just one game left to play, made sure it was certain to retain the urn.
Smith donned a pair of spectacles in the celebrations in Manchester, though the choice of eyewear was not mocking England's glasses-wearing spinner Jack Leach, as was initially thought.
Photographer Ryan Pierse, who captured the moment during Australia's post-match party, tweeted that, rather than poking fun at Leach – a cult hero with England fans after making one not out in the dramatic conclusion to the third Test – the ex-Australia captain was actually referencing former team-mate Chris Rogers.
And there was certainly no ill-feeling between Smith and Leach as they shared a drink after the series finale at The Oval on Sunday, with a picture on Twitter capturing the pair arm in arm while both wearing glasses.
"An all-time great – and Steve Smith," England's official account tweeted, along with a winking face emoji.
"Congratulations on an incredible #Ashes series @stevesmith49. Leachy loves the glasses."
After keeping Ben Stokes company to steer England to an unlikely one-wicket win at Headingley, Leach returned to the pitch after proceedings to recreate the single that had levelled the scores.
So, will Leach and Smith get to see each other again in the next Ashes? We will have to wait until 2021 to find out...
