Picture: Roy Van Der Vegt. THE Barmy Army are warming up their tonsils for Thursday's Adelaide Test and have laughed off talk Australia's Fanatics plan to take them on in the stands and on the Hill. "In cricket terms it's the equivalent of me saying I'm going to I'm going to take on Mitchell Johnson left-handed with my eyes shut," the Army's co-founder Paul Burnham says. Bring it on I say to the Fanatics, we look forward to hearing their new repertoire of songs but really, we all know there's a competition going on out there in the middle but there is no competition in the terraces. The Fanatics say they boast new material for Adelaide, a revelation Burnham welcomed. "We will listen and we will applaud if they sing something funny," he said. Then we'll put them back in their places with 100 songs of our own. More than 2000 members of the Barmy Army have rolled into Adelaide over the past few days but, when expats are factored in, Burnham expects the numbers to swell to several thousand. He says the groups will follow through on a promise to target David Warner and Michael Clarke, although the main focus will be to lift the flagging English morale. The important things for us is to get behind our own team. We'll sing a couple of songs for Jonathon Trott because that's something we want to be very supportive of and Michael Clarke and David Warner will cop some stick. The Advertiser and Sunday Mail are searching for Adelaide's Ashes Anthems - songs everyone can learn to drown out the Barmy Army. Send us your suggestions. We'll publish an Aussie anthem, as well as one of the Barmy Army's best, on each day of the Test.
