and now the Barmy Army are singing the FDM's song!

Convict Colony
(To the tune of Yellow Submarine)

In the town where I was born, there lived a man who was a thief
And he told me of his life, stealing bread and shagging sheep.
So they put him in the nick, and then a magistrate he went to see
He said "put him on a ship, to the convict colony"
You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony
You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony

Please Ricky, keep bowling Johnson 2 consecutive 10 run overs

 

[1066familyman]

Johnson is nothing if not consistent. Another 10 off the over

 

[Blackadder]

We'll just wait for Swann's century then call it a day.

Yeah, we can wait another 20 minutes!

There is no finer sight, in cricket, than watching an awkwardly poised bowler batting and hitting a bowler around the ground.

 

[8ace]

Yep. The beers are starting to kick in!

XXXX gold never really kicks in.

 

[SirElliotBennett]

Love watching Swann slogging Mitch round the park.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Johnson can bowl like a collosus or an out of control garden hose.

That is the best analogy of Johnson's bowling I have ever heard

 

[Blackadder]

This is LOVELY!

This Johnson over also gone for 10, already... and the lead over 400!

EXACTLY.

Everyone, enjoy the moment. Open up another can of beer and LAP IT UP!

 

[Titanic]

England 500-7

 

[pasty]

[Blackadder]

XXXX gold never really kicks in.

Like it!

Just had a bottle of Shiraz. Now on the Carlsberg Exports. They are kicking in on me at the moment!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

We came over from old Blighty
The Barmy Army and me
Around Brisbane town we did roam
6 quid for a pint, a grand for a flight
With Strauss our captain, we'll take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain
We'll take the urn home

Ricky Ponting's a broken man
Without Warne he has no plan
He tries to carry the team all on his own
He's losing his hair
But we don't care
'Cos Strauss our captain will take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain
We'll take the urn home

Graeme Swann is a caring guy
Rescues cats in his spare time
Now he's gonna tear the Aussies apart
They can't read his spin
And so England will win
'Cos Strauss our captain will take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain
We'll take the urn home

 

[SirElliotBennett]

There's the 500

Enjoying this with a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.Can't be watching this with Aussie grog!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

A friend of mine is over there. She has absolutely no interest in cricket whatsoever, but has tickets for all five days. Flown out in Club Class, courtesy of her old man, and has tickets for the five days of the next test. BITCH

 

[Lady Whistledown]

There is a house in New Orleans, They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy, oh Lord I know I'm one
One foot on the platform, one foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans, to my ball and chain
1,2,
Ball and Chain! Ball and Chain!
We came here with Backpacks you with Ball and Chain
Ball and Chain! Ball and Chain!
We came here with Backpacks you with Ball and Chain.

Trotty's just teasing them now...

They all hate each other
