    Barmy army

    I am not totally in the dark about the BA, I know the chant 'Barmy Army' well from visiting loads of English soccer grounds and I think I first heard it as early as the 1970s. But it seems to me that most of the BA are Brits living in Australia or may be not? On English cricket grounds there is...

    Barmy army

    Seriously, who are the Barmy Army? I have followed English cricket for an awfully long time, I love England from the bottom of my heart and I follow county cricket (I support Lancashire but love all of our counties, except Yorkshire). I was very fortunate to visit Australia and see the first two...

    You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

    Brian Lara should have been out for single figures but went on to make 277 NO and you complain? You obviously wasn't there because I assure you that watching Brian Lara make big scores is one of the most exhilarating things I have ever seen. I saw him score two test hundreds and at no time did I...

    *Official* Rugby League World Cup 2013

    thanks for all replies. 'nothing special' is relative to NRL and Super League but from what is being said he sounds okay. He is a friends (according to local paper) with a lad called Rhys Hanbury who is from NSW and if he gives us half as much as Rhys he will do pretty well. Was more concerned...

    Most memorable piece of commentary

    Venue: Nou Camp stadium, May 1999, commentator Clive Tyldesley. Champions league final is in the 90th minute Bayern Munich lead Manchester United 1-0. United win a throw in deep in the German team's half. The board is held up it reads 3 (minutes of added time): Tyldesley: 'Base camp for a final...

    *Official* English Football Season 2013-14

    good point. Fergie is the greatest manager in the history of British football but I always doubted his ability to lead United into Europe. Yes he did win the CL on two occasions but given the number of times we got to the semis/quarters of the comp I think he massively under achieved. Moyes is...

    ***Official*** Road to World Cup 2014

    Well as you said Jesus saves. Front page of the Sun today really made me laugh, it shows a picture of the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer with the headline: Lord Help Us!

    You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

    Don't get me started on David Lloyd he gives me the hump. Last summer as I exited OT on one of the days I went to the test, a couple walked towards me with those kind of tee shirts that make you want to read what is on them. I read hers first (obviously) and it read: 'So does he!' So looking at...

    *Official* Rugby League World Cup 2013

    as a Widnes rlfc fan I wonder can you tell me, and my fellow fans, what to expect from a lad called Danny Galea? He has traveled around a bit but has played well over 100 nrl games. Really don't know anything about him other than that fact.

    Trescothick retires from international cricket

    I always dreamed of being a pro cricketer and playing Test matches and traveling all over the world, alas. However when I see the intensity of the life that the players, today, have to deal with I for one don't envy any of them and I don't think I would be able to cope with it. When Tresco's...

    You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

    Americanisms: I recall watching the cricket from Australia a number of years ago and seeing Botham hit an almighty six, boring Bob Willis described the hit as a 'home run'. Also the Johnners, Aggers Athers. Blowers, Tuffers thing on TMS.

    Was Australia's Sledging Too Much?

    no offence taken, I have no sympathy with Clarke he deserved to fined, the argument that his only crime was that Channel 9 didn't switch of the mic is quite pathetic and don't forget players blessed with the talent of Clarke have done very nicely thank you because of the money pumped into the...

    Was Australia's Sledging Too Much?

    Great article today in The Mail on Sunday, written by the excellent Patrick Collins, with the headline: STOP THIS IDIOCY! Not going to key it all in but would like to pass on some of his observations. On Clarke's much quoted words aimed at Anderson: 'Clarke has rarely been mistaken for a...
