Description

With the first Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth beginning on 21 November, The Paddock and The Pavilion turns its attention to the fans who bring colour, energy and song to every Ashes series — the Barmy Army.


Host Stephen Wallis is joined by Paul Burnham, founder and chairman of the Barmy Army, to look back at how it all began in the mid-1990s, the origins of their name, and how the group has become England’s twelfth man — encouraging and inspiring the team wherever they play.


Paul also talks about the huge demand to be part of this Ashes tour, gives his thoughts on the upcoming action, names who he thinks will be player of the series, and predicts how the contest might unfold.
