Exactly. Switching back and forth with your number 3 every other Test, making Washington go from 7 to 8 to 3 and back to 8, shuffling your seamers and spinners every Test, tossing out priven talent like Sarfaraz...
All if it smacks of someone who has no clue, and creates uncertainty in the team

As they will be in Melbourne and Sydney. Don't need to be Nostradamus to predict that.

Next check out A Son of the Circus. Quite a change for him. A good mystery set in India. Good fun

What!? I have autoimmune diseases and read all the times I’m informed. The doctors, scientists, epidemiologists, etc, etc, etc, were all right all along. Those who dropped out of high school or failed high school science, etc,etc,were wrong the whole time! #Shocked

That is truly shocking. I mean, surely a highschool dropout spending a few hours tolling the internet is better research than MDs and PhDs spending decades pouring over books and looking into microscopes?

Oh, ok. In India we got the Parlephone versions.
December 6, 2025 at 1:56 AM
That's crazy. I think Revolver onwards Capitol Records toed the Parlephone/Apple line

My 2nd Beatles album and the first album I ever bought with my pocket money when I was 12
My 1st Beatle album was The Early Beatles which an uncle got from USA in the mid 60s

From the weed and the man who gave it to them. Just like they influenced him, which can be seen in Highway 61 Revisited, and to an extent, Bringing It All Back Home

Rubber Soul had a companion album that blew blew open the doors with it - Highway 61 Revisited.
The year before, Dylan introduced the Beatles to pot. They smoked together and influenced each others music, resulting in these 2 masterpieces that changed music forever.

The dialogue was always crazy good, but it was the way he weaved in and out of different situations is just genius.
Tried a couple of his other books, but couldn't even get through them.

Having read it many many times as a young man, I recently re read after a gap of more than 20 years, and found it even better than before. This time around I was better able to grasp just how well written it was. The way he jumps back and forth, each time adding or removing a bit to lead you along
