An interesting Point of view from i think it was Jonathon Agnew on the ABC last week.
He was talking about what was wrong with England, and he offered this point in regards to the Barmy Army. He said that as good as it is to see them still offering support to their team even thought England is being beaten, he would like to see them tone down the support, or words to that effect, if they're being beaten so comprehensively and not just for 1 match, but for 5/6 on the trot. Aggers suggested that this could be sending the wrong message to the team in that they don't care if they lose or play badly (not aggers exact words but you get the idea of his argument) |

I'm pretty sure the English cricket team are above that. They just appreciate the support. I'm sure they know themselves that their performance isn't good enough.
