Taylor DESPERATELY needs some test match runs

Yeah, backing him to ton up here.

Really strange innings, but I'll claim that anyway.

 

[Bahnz]

Have to say that was almost as chancey a knock as Vettori's hundred in the first test. Still well done to him for making the most of it, and playing some lovely shots too.

 

[straw man]

And another edge for 4... awesome.

Also, Taylor needs 3 more runs for 1000 test career runs.

After seeing with how he dealt with the 90s, I'm sure the Indians will be reminding him of that after tea!

When was the last time NZ managed to bat through a session without losing a wicket? Amazing.

 

[thierry henry]

That was one of the poorer centuries I've seen from an NZ player. Pretty much deserves to get out soon.

Ummmm...a week ago? Ryder and Vettori?

As lucky as Vettori's ton was, Taylor's done his best to match that. Ryder has looked solid however, deserves another ton here.

Yeah yeah, forgot about that one. Lynch me.

In that case, I struggle to think of a time before that when it happened.

No, he deserves to do what Tendulkar did after not looking the best at times, and really kick on emphatically to a big score.

 

[JBH001]

Dont really care all that much whether he deserved it or not. There are times when you deserve a ton and get out before, and times when you dont, and you do get a hundred. Same with bowling, good spells sometimes go unrewarded, and sometimes not so good spells get you loads of wickets. Main point is that he has a 100.

Real shame I have been unable to watch a good exhibition of NZ batting. Stuck at uni with tutorials and office hours.

 

[thierry henry]

Well...he does

GAGF.

Really. You are the typical NZ fan, always bitching no matter what. Go and work for the NZ media, it sounds just like your ticket.

Flynn and Oram against England at Lords on Day 5.

 

[Bahnz]

Well...he does

No...he doesn't

 

[straw man]

Flynn and Oram against England at Lords on Day 5.

Wow, good memory.

 

[duffer]

Whether he deserved it or not is irrelevant really. He got the runs on the board and well done to him, his team are in a way better position than when he came in so he's done his job.

 

[Bahnz]

Wow, good memory.

Now that I'm done with Uni, I'm completely free to dedicate all my cognitive abilities towards the retention of absurdly esoteric cricket facts. YAY!

 

[thierry henry]

No...he doesn't

lol, how many times do you hit the ball to fielders in the air before you deserve to be out?
