Atmosphere created by the barmy army in the ashes series helps to keep test cricket alive imo

Cricket fans behaving like football fans.
How stupid did the Barmy Army look in 2013-14? They should have changed the lyrics to Johnson making English batsmen **** their flannels. Even in Perth in 2010 it looked completely stupid: clearly his bowling wasn't 'shite'.

I thought it came from 2009 when Strauss hit him around the ground?

Absolute muppet. The BA are as far removed from english football fans as you could get and they have worked very hard over the years to ensure thats the case. Can you see anyone punching on in that or any other BA youtube video?

It was born in 2009 but i can guarantee it wasnt sung in Perth that year, it didnt get going in 2010 until the mcg.

When I was in among the Barmy Army at an one-dayer v Oz I recall one ditty,
''Rolf is a paedo/Rolf Is a paedo/lalala-la/lalala-la''.

That makes it even worse considering he'd just slaughtered them at the WACA!
Englands travelling cricket fans are all brilliant, whether its the barmy army, howzat or just regular fans who do it off their own back. I was in barbados and the first 2 days there was 13,000 in the ground and 15000 for the 3rd day..pretty much full capacity in a ground where there would normally be around 2000 for a test (if that).
10000 of them were english and it made for a brilliant atmosphere and was a brilliant match even though we lost before tea on the 3rd day!!

I hate to agree with an Aussie, but it's the English who are known as soap dodgers

A walk around a Coles or Safeway on a warm day in Aus will tell you otherwise.

Kallis on tour in Australia once gave an interview where he said something like, the key to a long innings is believing the bowlers can't get you out." Next game the Aussies nicknamed him "The Don". When he arrived at the wicktet they started "Here comes The Don, how are we gonna get him out". When he played and missed at a delivery somebody (probably MEW) in the slips yelled to Healy "Better get that ball autographed from The Don"
When Khawaja started out in Sydney Grade Cricket his opponents would call him "Sachin" in full knowledge that his heritage was from Pakistan and not India.
