Which of you all will now deny to dance?

Jonathan Agnew has just alleged that the cast of the RSC's Romeo and Juliet commemorated England retaining the Ashes by performing the sprinkler dance at the Capulets' ball last night.

Thought to be something to do with Sam Troughton (Romeo), brother of Warwickshire batsman Jim as well as son of David and grandson of Patrick.

Very cool! I hadn't heard of the sprinkler dance before they did it this week, but yay!

It's supposed to have been started by Paul Collingwood though I'm not sure where he got the idea.

I am loving how Michael Vaughan is teasing Aggers about his (the BBC's Cricket Correspondent's!) rash vow to do the sprinkler here if England win the series!

I'm also very impressed that there's so much pink about, for the McGrath Foundation in aid of breast cancer care. A very good thing indeed.

Yes, and if you were insomniac long enough Aggers had an interview with Glenn McGrath and Tracy Bevan about the Foundation and life since Jane died. They played it during a rain break so I imagine it will come up again - probably on the third day which is dedicated to Jane.

lol - wish there was a video of that!

I've looked on the BBC site and it seems it was Troughton himself who texted them about it. I wish it was available for us all, but I suspect you had to be there on Saturday!

Excellent! Now that would be something to see.

I wonder whether it was Mercutio who led the dance? I can just see that!
