5th test, page-80

I said before the series they should have made made Symonds captain. He wouldn't have done any worse than the incumbent.

Oh well, we lost and we have to get over it, so to show that we are good losers lets all sing the barmy army song. One, two, three:

Chorus

Hey Hey Ricky, what you gonna do?

Hey Hey Ricky, get on your kangaroo

We're taking back the Ashes, they don't belong to you

Cos we're the Barmy Army, we're England through and through

Verse 1

You tried to find a bowler but it ended up in tears

You once had Warne and McGrath now it's just that Brett Lee 'Spears'

You'll try to get a century, but we know how you bat

So go on back down under or we'll bring out Gary Pratt

Chorus

Verse 2

Symonds has gone fishing, Gilchrist is long gone

You have got no spinners, we've got Panesar and Swann

You'll always be a whinger, when will you ever learn

You'll never get your hands on our little Ashes urn

Chorus

Verse 3

You cook shrimps on the Barbie, drink beer that's really weak

Your country isn't quite as old as some of our antiques

You didn't like our Bodyline, wish Beefy had been yours

Now we've got Freddie and KP to hit sixes and fours

Come on England!

Chorus

Come on England!

Chorus

'Hey Hey Ricky'
