Extremely poor stuff from the fanatics.

Tongue in cheek? That would be bloody irresponsible behaviour. These guys must be locked up and never permitted to tour England again.Read a full article on the issue, where the leader of the Fanatics actually said that he doesn't condone the behaviour at all, and it was pretty clear that the "We're doing our bit for Australia" was pretty tongue in cheek.
However, still think it's bloody poor form. Would be filthy if I were an English player.
in lieu for Bell and Bopara and added condition that Clark stay back. After all he is not an AustralianThe Fanatics arent just a disgrace to cricket, they're a disgrace in every sporting event they turn up to.
England should put them on the next plane home ...
On 2nd thought you guys can keep them.
What's worse is that some of them get paid to be part of it by Tennis Australia (and probably by CA as well, given that they're following the cricket team around as well)Haha, FTR Fanatics are amongst the worst blokes in Australia. Don't know of anyone who is a part of them, or who likes them.

Worst post I've read from a good poster this year. Pathetic.
Thought it was pretty funny when I first read about it myself. Obviously not ideal preparation for a first morning for the English team though. Prior said he thought it affected their performance the first morning. Can only assume they were still tired the next afternoon when they again collapsed to 82/5
It probably shouldn't happen though. Cue the same thing for the Aussies before the next match in retaliation.

A case of "liar liar pants on fire"?They didn't do it.
Heard the bloke who organises them on radio. They were coming back from a night out and were walking past the England team hotel when they saw everyone had been evacuated.
They apparently made up that they did it to wind the Poms up. Apparently it started because a female guest (not Stuart Broad, another one) left her undies drying near a heater in a bathroom, and they started to smoulder, setting off the alarm.
Fanatics still douchebags imo, but not guilty on this occasion.
