McGrath bowling

KP - mmm
The last day we didn’t even get to warm our seats up as England rather unceremoniously went out. It was fitting when the trumpeter in the crowd played the Last Post and then all us English were singing ‘Living on a Prayer’ when we needed to get every Australian wicket before they scored, say, 38!! However, the Amry kept on singing until the bitter end and the Aussies were very quiet, just managing a few chants of ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oy, Oy, Oy’ which were fired straight back at them in a squeaky voice, along with ‘You’ve only got one song’ and ‘5-0 but we’re having a laugh’. One of the fun bits at the end was the Army doing a ‘Monty, Monty give us a wave’ and so on to each English player – they kept singing it until they waved, and then went on to get Hayden and Langer who were batting and then the two referees to wave, very amusing!!
