KP pisses all over Taylor as a batsman, fielder, bowler. What else is left?
:laugh: Woeful. Taylor easily a better fielder than Pietersen. Pietersen a better Test batsman and one day bat but not in T20.

And hey this is the Bangalore team so what has KP done for them so far?
In 19 innings Taylor has 581 @ 38.73 SR 157.45

In 7 innings KP has 116 @ 19.33 SR 117.17

In 9 innings White has 135 @ 19.28 SR 117.39

Obviously we should just hold out for KP to come good in this format.

If I want to look at who's better I look at the T20I record. Taylor's is garbage. KP's isn't. That's a bigger and fairer sample. The simple fact is any sane person would pick KP ahead of Taylor whatever the format because KP is better without question.

Taylor's IPL record is phenomenal, so why chuck him for a player who plays well for his country but not for Bangalore? Yes Pietersen is a better overall batsman than Taylor but in T20 the disparity between them disappears entirely and you take whoever will score more runs on the day. So far in this competition it appears to be Taylor.

In a tournament that last all of two months and that only allows a handful of internationals in the team it's hard to see an out of form player getting any chances to come good. Well maybe if they were playing for a team like Kings XI Punjab. Surely Bangalore has the strongest middle order reserves of any team.

For those who missed- Bopara somehow got some big ones, taking his strike rate over 120, but most of his hits went poof along the ground to the fielders. Irfan came, hit four, four, six and tried to run two but was run out by a joint effort by, guess who, Kumble, and a bumbling Uthappa as keeper. Yuvraj tried to hit Kallis out of the ground but couldn't clear, and was out caught, after a whirlwind innings.

Because these stats over such a small span of games don't mean a great deal. You could pick a small series of innings from any player and make them look a prince or pauper.

Jeez this Bangalore team bats deep, White listed at 7 on cricinfo. You'd think Kings XI had won the match with that wicket instead of potentially making things far worse for them.
