win lose or draw it would be a great trip, cricket and pints
Aussies do not have anything like the barmy army

There is nothing in the Barmy Army to aspire to,they are just drunken oafs.

now now steven, you can only play what is in front of you.
the poms only have Root, Stokes, Bethel maybe Brook as batsmen

After a long Ashes i have outlayed $225
$50 on a draw at $7 and I finish $125 in front on the series
I did have a sneaky $5 on the poms at $15 just in case would still lose $175 in the series

Been a long summer bring on the tiges

Let this be a lesson to you.
Putting your hard earned on those smelly toe-rags will only end one way.
You may as well burn your cash..same result

It's an SCG Test attendance record

The 2025-26 #PinkTest is now the most-attended SCG Test match ever.
A crowd at the start of play on Day 5 of over 15,000 takes the overall attendance to over 200,000 for the first time.

Why the hate? They are harmless. Never hear about them causing trouble. They just sing. It’s their culture.

i had a big year in 2005 ashes they dont owe me anything, had england to win the ashes into tigers to win nrl, ridiculous odds $600/1
tigers 150/1 & england were $4
dont bet anywhere near that amount anymore

t20 world cup aussies $5 massive unders
england $9
south africa $7
took a double michael zarafa into india paying $4.25 (as long as zerafa wins) otherwise india too short to back at $2.50
will back all 3 and aim for some small profit.

I admire their resilience but I'm glad we don't have anything like the barmy army just plenty of dress up groups just having fun
I'm just not a fan of excessive flag waving nationalism incl here or anywhere
But that's just me .
I lived for a while in the USA many years ago and most houses had flag poles and schools everyday the oath of allegiance with hand on their hearts .

the pommy soccer fans are nuts
the barmy army are harmless

This is true. Pommy soccer fans love a riot. The Army are harmless drunks. A lot in common with us really.

It must be a buzz to use the same dressing sheds to the likes of Bradman. Something probably unique to the SCG.
