The Daily Telegraph reports that Australian fans could be kicked out of cricket grounds at this summer's Ashes series for calling an English player "a Pommy bastard".
Australian cricket chief, James Sutherland, described the phrase as a "racist comment". What will Jimmy make of some of the Barmy Army songs?
To the tune of "Yellow Submarine"
In the town where I was born,
there lived a man who was a thief
And he told me of his life,
stealing bread and shagging sheep.
So they put him in the nick,
and then a magistrate he went to see
He said "put him on a ship, to the convict colony
"You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony
You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony
