After listening to England's and Sri Lanka's national anthems before the cricket today I've decided that ours is incredibly boring and needs to be changed.

Any suggestions?

To be fair - anything would sound boring after the Sri Lankan. It is an amazing anthem!

(edit - the Sri Lankan anthem is amazing, not GSTQ which I do find a little dull)

I saw him do this sketch in Brighton in the 1990's - my sides ached afterwards!

I think it should be 'Soul Limbo' by Booker T & the MGs - for all occassions.

I checked. JANE is indeed playing.

in the first 4 overs, he's taken a wicket, had another wrongly adjudged not out, misfielded and dropped a catch.

Go Jane.

Sri lanka 40/1 (5.3ov)

have you only heard our anthem today for the first time then?

God save the queen is recognised worldwide, and is the de facto English national anthem so what if England doesnt have an 'official' one. what is boring is this debate, no respect for tradition, the best argument in favour of changing is the tediously unimaginative t 'its a dirge'. god what a boring parroted line that is.

Oh I see Jerusalem has cropped up below. its all going to form.

its a dirge - check
I like Jerusalem - check
I am a republican - check
The others play different ones at the rugby I want one too - check
i have absolutely no respect for tradition and am full of post devolution insecurity - check

Jayawardena is now 61 no having been out first ball. Bresnan dropped a sitter as well. The boys are playing well :nono:

Make that Bresnan dropped 2 dolly's now. And Butler missed a run out buy missing the stumps with his gloves. Jayawardene now 80 no from 42 balls. Yay England. Can the anthem be "We're **** and we know we are" ?
