Those that call themselves 'The Left', George. But let's be honest. Until The Centre abandons Thatcherism, nothing will change.
Or to put it better. Unless the Centre is put in a position where it has no choice, but to abandon Thatcherism. Because why else would it?

It can be done.

Real, I think.

Good to see you here George.

This is less of an echo chamber. More that secret bar you go to when stressed.

I'm a 42-year-old Limey who also hikes and reads. But enjoys nothing more than a good game of cricket. Playing or watching.
Am trying to write and failing.

Note also who I left out.
Gooch, Gower, Crowe, Kapil Dev, Garner

Second that. Astonishing top order, powerful middle, and plenty of depth lower down. And that's before you get to the bowling. Dream New Ball pair, superb first change.
Only weakness is their spinner. But that was 80's cricket for you.

Just to say, I'd have Pollock over Donald because the latter gives you a long tail.
November 12, 2024 at 6:06 PM
Better question. Who would win. An 80's XI or a 90's XI?
Gavaskar, Greenidge, Miandad, Richards, Border, Imran Khan, Dujon, Botham, Hadley, Marshall, Qadir.

Taylor, Anwar, Lara, Tendulkar, Waugh S, Flower, Pollock, Wasim Akram, Warne, Ambrose, Waqar

There is something about it. Part wholesome, part the volume turned down.
Part escaping to that bit of the pub where it's much less noisey. None of the aggression, toxicity.
Btw, I was Mark in the old world.

It's the total absence of 'blue ticks'.

So, how's BlueSky treating you?
