A touch wood moment questioning a potential snowball effect of disappearing Australian batsmen seems to be out of Karmas midst as Aussie captain Michael Clarke is bowled out by England’s star bowler Jimmy Anderson for a mere duck.

As a crescendo of “you’re not singing any more” and “Where’s your captain gone?” rises around the stands, it is clear to see that England’s support is remaining ever strong and that the Barmy Army have stepped up to the mark in true British fashion. The score stands at 22-3.
