Under the Southern Cross I Stand
A sprig of wattle in my hand,
A native of my native land,
Australia you loving beauty

Something like the first

I wonder if England have got a team song. If they have it's probably something lame like Jerusalem.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

The main reason they don't like media in the dressing room is that the team song is something for players only. Leading the team song is a pretty big deal too, which is why Hussey giving it to Lyon to sing when he was looking out of favour with the selectors was a bit of a slap in the face to the powers that be.

Let's get a little crazy. Let's have some fun.
The "Australia you fucken bewdy" verse is just the one they play out in public

The super secret version goes like this:

The great Australian wattle.
Is the symbol of our land.
You can put it in a bottle.
Or hold it in your hand

Because Australia doesn't do timezones properly and because Sky are poo poo and broke my TV coverage, I haven't seen a single ball of this series bowled except on the news. Lionel Richie, can you provide me with a good, honest and unbiased appraisal of the series?

My favourite myth already spreading quickly around the place is that Australia won the Ashes because Boof Lehmann let the blokes drink a beer and have a laugh!

GAME PLANS? We don't need no stinking game plans.

:cry: :cry: :cry:
The having a laugh bit probably helped. They might have been huge dickheads on the field but it looked like they were all having fun which helps. I think Boof has done well in getting them playing aggressive cricket but besides that he has been "lucky" in the sense that Harris has been able to put back to back games together and he is clearly up there with the two Saffies as the best quick in the world on his day.

This allows Johnson to go bananas and reap the rewards of bowling like a maniac.

quote:

Cricket Australia has announced it will release some of Australia's Test squad to play in this weekend's Twenty20 Big Bash League matches.

David Warner will play for the Sydney Thunder and Steve Smith will line up with the Sydney Sixers in the local derby at the SCG on Saturday night.

George Bailey has also been released to play on Sunday for the Hobart Hurricanes' match against the Adelaide Strikers in Hobart.

CA said the Ashes series win had provided more flexibility when it came to releasing Test players for the Twenty20 competition.

None of the bowlers from Australia's winning Ashes team have been released to play.

Warner has scored a total of 457 runs in the past three Tests and is averaging 91 for the series.

Holy smokes Cricket Australia handled this properly. I am shocked.

There is no real harm in letting some batsmen go out and have a swing in a silly game of cricket imo. Especially if we have the Ashes won. This could backfire if David Warners arm falls off or something though.
