At one point yesterday there was 10 aussies on the pitch and 2 of them were umpires.

First #1 batsmen to never hit a 100 in Australia ...

Lets hope they select Zac Crawley. 156 runs in 14 innings this year averaging 11.14

I blame the barmy army for having so little effect on the team. If I'm wrong, then imagine how much worse the poms would be!

We are awesome though, the reactions of the players show much they love what we do.

Probably a case of being nice . Think we all know the Barmy Army was quieter than normal even with the reduction in crowd

Yes, they repay you by playing poorly. Either you're not supporting well enough, or the team isn't responding well enough. But keep it up, it's working well....FOR US! :thumbup:

The Barmy Army was pretty vocal on what of the telcast I saw, even when defeat was inevitable. If anything it is Australian fans that don't know how to sing.

Why the need to sing? It's usually a football thing. Majority of sports there's no crowd singing. We let our sportsmen do the talking on the field.
Either way, it seems to be doing very little in lifting the performance of the poms.

and how boring is the atmosphere at cricket because of it. I'm not surprised an aussie doesn't understand supporting their team.

Sit back and enjoy the laid back nature of the game. Would you chant at a district or county game? Do you really need some repetitious drunken pub songs to make the game "exciting"? Maybe poms live such dreary lives that even the most simplest things can amuse them and make them feel so important.

So in your definition, if you don't sing drunken pub songs at the cricket, you aren't supporting the team? Tell me which other countries sing such silly ditties at test matches?

No, you don't have to but australians just silently watch, when they bother to turn up. The occasional supporter wikl get drunk and violent or just collapse.

It's not about singing, it's the support.
