The tradition is to provide the winner with a replica that has no utility but is an attractive memento. The Awards Committee sees no reason to break with tradition on this occasion.

In that case please will Lord’s provide a replacement. Ideally one with both ear bits and not just the one because the other had an office chair roll over it some time ago.

The microphone will theoretically be yours, obviously.

In practice, though, it will reside in The Lord’s Museum for posterity. No individual or institution (with all due respect, least of all you) can be trusted with possession of such an important artefact.

Do we get to keep the microphone for that feat?

Hope so. It’s ours anyway.

A hat-trick of nap-inducements in my case now.

Well done again.

Enjoying the podcast so far though.
