Just googled Ashes jokes, and got this little gem:-
Q: Why do Australians call their favourite drink XXXX?
A: Because they can’t spell beer.
Tarrakk Blackhand:
I thought you were talking aobut my store again. Too bad it can’t be a Phonex.
Abecedar:
Hey! I am aussie, to the core, just not cricket (i was actually the despair of my family too) or rugby league orientated. And I meant to say the “sad sacks at work” bitching and moaning about it.
Tarrakk Blackhand:
Hmmm…so if I sing “Waltzing Matilda”, you’d stand up?
Abecedar:
Hmmm...so if I sing "Waltzing Matilda", you'd stand up?bloody oath I would.

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolabah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never take me alive", said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."
"Oh, You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."

I prefer the barmy army version:
"We all shgged Matilda, We all shgged Matilda
We all sh*gged Matilda, and so did our mates…"
If we’re standing for anything, how about a rousing chorus of “God Save Your Queen”?
richard barby:
just to give you one more version of it ive seen used by the all blacks fans
waltzling matilda we bloody killed her
snowblizz:
If we're standing for anything, how about a rousing chorus of "God Save Your Queen"?That's "God save THE Queen". Still can't help finding it hilarious that they'll have to change the lyrics at some point "soon".
AGPO
Good tune though. That and a couple of the ones they play during Last Night of the Proms.
There's a tiny 19th century Englishman in me there is.

with the aussie baiting i get the feeling im going to look more than a bit stupid if they rock up and win the next 3 tests 
AGPO:
Yeah Richard’s right. God Save Your Queen is one of the songs the Barmy Army (the England cricket team’s supporters group) sing to annoy the Aussies. “Get your bl**dy stars off our flag!” is another classic.

Ah. Well us forrinurs are desperately trying to understand what the heck you are on about anyway.
Still blows my mind when I was in Glasgow in 2005 and there was this enormous sports event going on somewhere (that and football* qualifiers).
People were acting like it was a big deal and I realised I had never ever heard of “Commonwealth games” before that moment. It was very confusing.
*if your american read “soccer”, you silly silly person
