7️⃣ 🏁 Final session — and the big question
Australia’s big innings fades.
The UK keeps accumulating… and edges ahead.

Different styles.
Different foundations.

So who do you back for the next decade?

6️⃣ ⚠️ But look at the technique…
Plenty of quick singles:
• Services
• Housing
• Consumption

Very few cover drives:
• Productivity
• Investment

Runs — yes.
Classical innings — no.

4️⃣ 🔵 UK under pressure — but still batting
Survives the GFC.
Loses momentum elsewhere.
Hangs on at the crease.

Not pretty.
But not out.

3️⃣ 🟡 Middle sessions: Australia cut loose (2001–2011)
Fast pitch.
China booming.
Mining everywhere.

Boundaries flow.
Australia build a serious innings. 🔥

2️⃣ 🟢 Opening overs (1990s): steady, cautious play

A watchful first session.
