  • oldfathertime.blogspot.com/ The Barmy Army in full voice on Day 5 at the SCG. We Take the Urn Home as victory looms for England,
    We came over from old Blighty
    The Barmy Army and me
    Around Sydney 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
    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
    With 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
    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
    Tear them apart
    Swann, Swann will tear you apart again
    Swann, Swann will tear you apart again
    They can't read his spin
    And so England will win
    With 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
    We'll take the urn home
    With Strauss our captain we'll take the urn home
    Brad Haddin's a simple man
    He appeals whenever he can
    He even appeals a catch down the leg side (even a wide)
    He's crap at his job
    We think he's a nob
    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
    We'll take the urn home
    With Strauss our captain we'll take the urn home

    Aussie here, sat with or very close to the barmy army in this series and the most recent one and they are by far the most fun supporters going around. Very welcoming and were happy to cop and give back any sledging in good humour. They very nearly had me switching sides when the Australian army (opposite side of the stadium) reached a new low and sung 'Hey micky you're so fine' only to be drowned out by the Jimmy Anderson song!

      Not easy to do, Australia and England are so strong on their home deck. So when one of them beats the other away from home, it's a big deal. Australia nearly did it in 19, still "Took the Urn home" but it wasn't as good as a win.

    A lot of Australian fans are fickle and only like it when we're winning. I remember being there on Boxing Day 2010, when we were skittled for less than 100, then Cook and Strauss put on over 150 by stumps. I stayed til the end, coz that's what you've gotta do, and support your team. Most of the Aussie fans had left by then.

      Well at least the Barmy Army do their duty, not so sure about their players. Already 2-0 and not even looking close so far in this series. Plus Aus retained in England in 19, only barely holding out for a useless drawn series since Aus already had the urn.

    I am a Pom, living in Oz. Sadly I sometimes feel that Aussies don't actually like sport! They like winning. It was obvious to me at the MCG and SCG when in the dying hours they had all left. The Barmy Army and indeed all England cricket fans turn up and stay put and have been doing it for years when we rarely won... I suppose we will have to enjoy it whilst it lasts, but I will be there, watching the team, win or lose all the same...
