Advance warning, Mr. Flintoff is on his way so a visit to the pharmacy for a stock up on valium or any other anti depressant might be adviseable:D

[Flowboy]

Two most common phrases in an English derssing room.

"Anyone seen Gower and Gatting?"

"Look, the Captains Broken,... never mind we'll get another"

[fxst]

I might suggest that while Flintof is at the chemist he purchase some viagra to suck on ...he will need a stiff upper lip after this series whirewash:D :D

I think I ought to book an evening class course on English Grammar when in Oz. to avoid these gramatical faux pas or whatever they are called.

[bitingmidge]

when in Oz.
:eek: :eek: :eek:

His mates call him "lucky"!!

Oh, BTW jow, this is the first time I've ever seen a cricket team send in a nightwatchman for a whole test series! Nice one Freddy!

P
:D :D :D

[jow104]

Well bitingmidge, Freddie has obviously heard of the prowess my wife and I have with the television switch if you are referring to me as the nightwatchman. ;)

[craigb]

[bennylaird]

No chance of headlines like this for the Ashes.

"A Strange Day At The Cricket — England Fail To Collapse"

[HappyHammer]

Well bitingmidge, Freddie has obviously heard of the prowess my wife and I have with the television switch if you are referring to me as the nightwatchman. ;)

Jow, Are you coming over for the tour if so I'll see you at the first test in Brisbane with the other 20,000 poms that will be there.:D :D

I think we owe it to our Aussie born mates to teach them how to sing a song that doesn't end in oi oi oi.....;)

HH.

[bennylaird]

Flintoff— Strauss? They remind me a bit of Laurel and Hardy.

Good one Warnie:D :D :D

[Bob38S]

Q
How will we know which plane the pommie team is on?

A
The one that keeps whining after the engines have stopped.

:D:):D

[bennylaird]

Maybe we should let them pick their own wickets etc so at least they can hang on past day 3 a few times?

[Bob38S]

Maybe we should let them pick their own wickets......

Strange what they call the thing [between their eyes] which we normally sit our glasses on..........

Still - could be the only joy they get this summer

-- Bring it on....

:D:):D

[HappyHammer]

I heard Shane Warne quoted on the radio this morning as saying "...the team England are sending over is stronger than the one that beat Australia in the last series..":p

Let's just hope it's a competition rather than a whitewash either way..:D

HH.

[jow104]

Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news. Your Shane needed stitches today after failing to keep his eyes on our fast bowlers. :eek:

Was he using his phone at the time?

Al :p

[jow104]

Phone? why is he still at it?

[bennylaird]

Isn't it good when the Poms think they have a sniff. Will make the drumming all the more merrier.:D :D :D

[keith53]

a song that doesn't end in oi oi oi.....;) HH.

HH, it is simply the way of things. Its what we call ockerism. Its one of the elements that make us unique in all the world.:D

[bennylaird]

English cricket has never really recovered, maybe a few little lucky bounces back. I mean last series was more luck than class.:D :D :D

[Andy Mac]

our fast bowlers. :eek:

Wasn't he another Aussie, playing county cricket?:p

Cheers,

[bennylaird]

Are there any native Pommy cricketers left? Don't they all come from the colonies anyway?

[HappyHammer]

Like your Rugby players come from Fiji, South Africa to name but two.:p

HH.

[bennylaird]

:confused: Rugby? What's that? Don't know much about it at all.:confused:

Aussie Rules for this little black duck.

[HappyHammer]

HH, it is simply the way of things. Its what we call ockerism. Its one of the elements that make us unique in all the world.:D

Does being ocker mean you can't string words together into a song? If you don't practice it will be frustrating having to sit and listen to the poms over the summer win, lose or draw....;)

HH.

[HappyHammer]

Aussie Rules for this little black duck.

Ahhh a truly international sport a bit like NFL.....:rolleyes:

HH.

[bennylaird]

:p Singing songs at sport is a Pommy thing, maybe due to the boredom of soccer?:D :D

Just a few short outburst is all thats needed everynow and again rather than a full choir performance. Like "he's going home in the back of a Divvy Van", "Hadleys a W_nker" etc.

Traditionally it's just the winners who get to sing down here.:D :D :D

You've obviously never been to a local football derby iin England and heard some of the songs that are sung and the feeling behind them. The spontaneous ones are my favourite and some can be very funny.

That's a shame because singing generates a great atmosphere and can be quite entertaining in itself.

I've travlled 9 hours to get to an away game knowing there is a good chance we won't get a result, but regardless I'll support my team through song and have a good time doing it regardless of the score. You have to make the most of things...:D

HH.

[bennylaird]

:D If you sing too loud how can the Umpy hear the White Maggot comments? Well maybe not white anymore, but yellow and green maggots just doesn't sound right.:D :D

[bennylaird]

We have a long time to get in some bagging of each others teams for the Ashes, should be some good new theories etc to get us whipped into a frenzies before the first bouncer flies past a Pommy head?

[bennylaird]

See? How can the Barmy Army hope to compete against that?:D :D :D

OWWWWWWWWWWWWZat?:p

[HappyHammer]

An oldy but a goody Craig...

On the last tour to Australia the barmy army were singing...

Get your sh|t stars off our flag AND
God save your gracious queen amongst others....

HH.

[bennylaird]

It's great to have the Barmy Army here, the breweries make more money than every.:D :D :D

[HappyHammer]

Almost as much as when the Lions tour in Aus..

HH.

[bennylaird]

???? The Brissy Lions are going on tour? Suppose they need to do something after their woefull season. Akka's doing the right thing by heading south. Lions are lost without the AFL overfunding them anymore.

[HappyHammer]

Benny you really need to braoden your horizons, were you a yank in a former life, it's not good to be insular, leave that to the diabetics;) :D

HH.

[bennylaird]

I support all the codes AFL, VFL VAFA etc etc anywhere good footy is played.

But as it's over time for cricket anyway.
