Difference is, he's playing for his country :p If he's going to come to the crease with O'Brien or Martin, I wouldn't bother, but if it's Taylor, he should just do it IMO.

Playing for your country doesn't lessen the ill feeling TBH. It's not a case of playing through the pain barrier - it's a case of the pain making you useless. Flynn would probably just miss everything if he tried to bat in the condition he appears to be in.
Out of interest, what's the worst injury anyone has seen with a player coming back to the crease with? I remember Gavin Larsen batting with a broken arm in the domestic Shell Cup final in the early 1990's.

Seen? Gibbs with that broken nose in 2003/04. There was almost Langer in that 2005/06 game at The Wanderers too - he shouldn't have been anywhere near batting but he had his helmet on.

The worst ever though has to be Cowdrey's broken-arm in 1963.

Well as Taylor has played, there's no excuse for things like the poor backing-up we've seen. Sixes get slogged at the end of the innings, that happens from time to time. But the backing-up is nothing more than poor attention-to-detail.

Another six.

It's raining sixes here.

89.2 Sidebottom to Taylor, SIX, wow! That's easy. He walked outside off stump, waited for the ball to arrive there before swinging it on a bent knee over deep midwicket. 150 up for Taylor

So he just swept Sidebottom for six? ITSTL.
