The last time Sky Sports pundits teamed up with musician Elio Pace and his band, they managed to get us all pumped up for the 2015 Ashes with their wonderfully reworked lyrics of We Didn’t Start The Fire.
With England regaining the Ashes after winning the fourth Test, the network decided to regroup and create a brand new version celebrating England’s glorious triumph.
Here are the full lyrics of the new song. (Courtesy: Sky Sports and Elio Pace)
Ashes regained back in Notts, Michael Clarke in the dock
Little Urn it returns, Broady takes eight
Davy Warner, Jimmy’s six, Edgbaston loving it!
Johnson joins the club, Steve Smith doubles up
Trevor Bayliss, floppy hat, ‘bowled him’, Finny’s back
Edges, Stokes’ catch, Bumble struggles on the app
Baggy green, Rooooooty, Belly up to number three
Ricky Ponting, he’s still got it, Starc makes the bails fly!
We didn’t start the fire…
England back on top. Nasser, and that drop
Millionth ball, leg byes, Watson DRS
Birmingham, Aussie rout, celebrate, Walkabout
Mitch Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Voges gone first ball
60 at Trent Bridge, catching practice in the slips
Commentators having fun, Barmy Army in the sun
Healy in The Zone, Ashes are coming home
Johnson, Wood, fierce pace, Cooky smacked in that place…
We didn’t start the fire…
