Ashes 21/22

[Just Dave now]

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.

Yes, I have sung at a county game.

As I said earlier, I'm not surprised that an aussie doesn't understand supporting their team.

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.

India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka...

looking at your spelling you might need to ease off on the booze lol

It's been a long few days.

The obvious reason Aussies can't match the Barmy Army for singing....in 40 years the best Aussies can come up with is either aussie, aussie, oi, oi, oi or cooee. I went to the game on Thursday & 500 Barmy Army supporters made more noise than 20,000 Aussie so called " supporters "

I'd say, we're cabernet in Australian conditions.

After all you haven't beaten us in a series for 20 years in England.

mate, your own kind are labelling your national team an embarrassment!!!!

Who brought up our support?

If you can't appreciate different playing conditions and their nuances then you should probably discuss cricket with Cooper.

[MegaBonus]

of course i can appreciate 'home ground advantage' and playing conditions having an impact.....which is why losing the Euro final at Wembley in front of a partisan crowd made it more of a failure

And still the #1 batsmen in the world

[God is an Englishman]

Well at least he's ranked higher than any australian.

No pain, just like laughing at whingeing hypocrisy from a lot of aussies.

3 foreigners on the field at times for Australia in the last test.

[Cooper]

Let's hope England continues to be cabernet for the rest of the series and the Aussies go 5-0

India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka...

India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka don't sing silly drunken ditties, they roar when their team does something good. When they're losing they are pretty silent.
If anything, the West Indies crowd like to bang on drums and chant, but they usually aren't on the booze, they're on the other gear.

[Scholes]

Didn't know you knew Indian, Pakistani or Sri Lankan. Thought you only knew Orstrayan & Polak.

I think you need to go to cricket more often.

We don't sing "drunken ditties" in Australia either, it's mid strength.

Another win.

What's it to you?

I've been to plenty matches, dating back to the mid 70's. Unlike you, my hearing and vision are quite good for a person of my age.
Seems like many struggle with mid strength too, and you can buy spirits (despite rip off prices).

Spirits are mid strength where the singing is.

You need to go to more cricket.

[Cooper]

Looks like England haven't improved at all lol

[ozzie owl]

Changing the batting line up as has been as effective as shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic .

[MegaBonus]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^....no!!! The Titanic stayed afloat longer!

[ozzie owl]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^....no!!! The Titanic stayed afloat longer!

Root might as well open the batting he always comes in at 2 for next to nothing .

[Bodø]

Effectively -21/7... I was going to cook up some chicken wings to eat as I watched this but could well be over before the wings are done.

[eagleboy]

I think the Aussies need to replace the test team with the Redbacks to give England a competitive match next game. My money would be on the redbacks.
