Can history repeat itself ?

Former Prime Minister Sir Harold Macmillan died aged 92, the day after England last won the Ashes.

Which former PM would you like to see go ?

The last match of the series starts tomorrow - England need to win or draw to win back The Ashes.

To answer the poll - isn't Callaghan and Heath enough for one year? No? OK - Maggie then.

Eh? Are you able to get the cricket on your TV in the States?

Who is broadcasting it?

(Actually I should check before posting this....is it on one of the Fox sports channels? Fox is owned of course by that ex-Aussie Rupert Murdoch...... ;)

UK Nova have been capping the games, so been able to get it thru that, but I've only bothered with the odd highlight, and also found a random stream that showed it, think it was korean though, shite quality as well.

I think that if history does repeat itself we'll probably see the same thing again.

...

And, who was it that said:

"The only thing we ever learn from history is that no-one ever learns anything from history"

??
