Regardless of fashion, trend, or convention, George Bailey’s hat stood tall and strong.

While Rohit Sharma was knocking Australia across the field, the Aussies found hope, solace and fortitude in the sight of George Bailey’s hat firmly affixed on his hat. Here they are seen circilng close to him to draw strength. And strength they found.

The hat gave hope where there was none to be found.
