Monty also seems to please the Barmy Army.

Just shows England's strength in depth, I shudder to think how many wickets Swann would have taken by now had he not had an attitude problem over 10 years ago and become an England regular, maybe it was just a case of overconfidence seen as arrogance, he does come across that way but he can back that up now with his figures.

They don't get to sing, "We get 3 dollars to the Pound" any more!

In the office a mistake made as a result of not quite knowing what you're doing is known as a Doherty.

Found this news story quite humourous:

The latest from the Barmy Army apparently (to 'Don't Look Back in Anger' obviously):

Slip inside Ricky Ponting’s mind
He’s trying to find
Some new players to play

He wants to play his older team
But that’s just a dream
They’re too old to play

He said he’d start a revolution in his head
But he’s been through all the players A to Z
Now there’s just a summertime of doom
If he loses the Ashes race
He is going to lose his place
Losing three would simply tear his heart out

So Ricky can wait
Shane Warne is too late
And there’s no Glenn McGrath
Gilchrist’s had his day
And don’t look back to Langer
He cannot play

The aussies won't be picking Warney now, not content with shafting England when he was playing he is too busy with posh English totty

As the Telegraph commentary put it, "England are doing to Australia what Warney's been doing to Liz Hurley".

Australia were shocking: very, very poor. If Strauss and Cook can score a boundary tomorrow morning they will have scored in their partnership what the Aussie top 4 managed between them.

England's bowling (apart from Anderson who looked tired) was good but not great for the most part. The one thing it had was great discipline. They didn't give away a wide or no a ball in the entire innings. Extras were just 3 leg byes.

It's getting embarassing now. It's like playing in the park with your little brother's friends. England should declare on 350 or Cook should retire 'hurt' once he gets his century or something. I don't know if I can watch another 600/2 declared or something.

But then on further consideration..............:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It looked to me that they were just bowling and waiting for the batsman to get himself out, rather than anything else.

When your captain and vice captain just give their wickets away without much of a fight, any team will be in trouble.
