This Sky Sports recreation of ‘We didn’t start the fire’ is sure to get you pumped up for the Ashes
Sky Sports pundits have given their viewers the perfect boost to get into the mood for the much anticipated 2015 Ashes series.
In a promotional video created in collaboration with musician Elio Pace, commentators David Lloyd, Shane Warne, Nasser Hussain, Michael Atherton, David Gower and Michael Holding sing an improvised version of Billy Joel’s classic ‘We didn’t start the fire’ reworked on the Ashes theme.
The lyrics cover numerous iconic moments from the illustrious history of cricket’s oldest rivalry.
Here are the complete lyrics (Credit: Sky Sports and Elio Pace)
Donald Bradman, Peter May, At The Oval, Final Day,
Little Urn, Bob’s perm, Double U G Grace
Walter Hammond, Mitchell Johnson, At The Gabba, Big Decision
Chris Broad, Pons-ford, Riiiiiiiiiichie Benaud
Larwood’s Bodyline, Athers slips on 99
Laker, Jones’ dive, Gower flying in the sky
Baggy Greens, swing/seam, Warnie’s ball in ’93
Ricky Ponting, Pratty gets him, Freddie makes the bails fly!
We didn’t start the fire…
10, 11 whitewash, Nasser… and that toss
Tubby Taylor, Sher-minator, Brigadier-bloc
Swansongs, follow-ons, Headingley ’81
Mark Waugh, Steve Waugh, Harmy’s shocking first ball
Brett Lee, on his knees, Aussies got a winning team
Davy Warner, third man, Andy Flower’s En-ger-land
Jon Snow, final Test, Manchester, yes, Chef!
Thommo, Lillee, fierce pace, Bumble smacked in that place…
We didn’t start the fire…
