Lord's famous weathervane, Father Time, has been damaged during high winds in London over the weekend.
Perhaps symbolically, given England's hugely disappointing World Cup campaign, Father Time has been bent back almost 90 degrees - flat on his back.
Staff from Marylebone Cricket Club, which owns Lord's, are working with specialists to restore it to its original position as soon as possible.
It is not the first time the weathervane has fallen foul of the elements: in 1992, it was struck by lightning and the subsequent repairs were featured on Blue Peter.
Father Time was given to MCC in 1926 by the architect of the Lord's Grand Stand, Sir Herbert Baker. During World War II, it was wrenched from its original perch when it became entangled in the steel cable of a barrage balloon.
It was reattached to the top of the Grand Stand where it sat until 1996 when it was relocated to the Mound Stand.
The symbolism of the figure derives from Law 16(3) of the Laws of Cricket: "After the call of Time, the bails shall be removed from both wickets."
The weathervane has, as his name indicates, moved with the times - and tweets these days on behalf of Lord's Cricket Ground, including an update on his latest mishap.
Posts read: "NEWS: I've was felled by high winds last night! Ouch!”
He followed that up with: "Apologies for my poor grammar in the previous tweet - but I'm not feeling my best after being damaged last night!"
He was back on Twitter later, with a recovery plan.
"FATHER TIME LATEST: I've been diagnosed with copper damage and will be undergoing treatment ASAP," it read.
