Pretty strange headline from Cricinfo - "Battling Taylor holds Lions together". 192/4 at tea seems fairly even to me, or quite good if you consider that they were put in on a green track. Taylor's innings is called "hard-fought" twice, which again seems odd considering he struck at 55 with two sixes.
Anyway, 200 up now, Patel and Morgan at the crease. Still not sure I want Morgan as a Test cricketer, but if he's in good enough form to get a good score here I wouldn't mind having him in the side at all.

Did it at U19s and also in one of the EPP games in Australia.

Any particular reason why?
Technically he's a better batsman for the format than Collingwood was. He's less likely to buckle under pressure than Bopara/Hildreth IMO.
He's weak against seam/swing, but thats hardly SL's strong suit.

It's because he hates all Irish people tbh

It's just his poor FC record that weighs on the mind a bit, as well as him looking clueless against Pakistan when they were bowling well.
Neither is particularly relevant right now, so I'm happy. He's great player to watch when on song so I'd love him to prove me wrong.
100 partnership up. Morgan on 84 from 115, and big Sam has 50.

Would back Morgs and Samit to both play against SL. Get rid of KP imo.

If we dropped KP for Samit Patel I would start a riot.

I'll have an avatar bet with you that whoever replaces Collingwood outscores him.
So long as its not Bopara obv.

How to decide whether to pick KP.
Q. Does the opposition have a better left arm spinner than Xavier Doherty?
A. Yes --> Don't pick KP.
A. No --> Pick KP.
Simples.

Just SL. India have Zaheer which changes things in my mind.

Cricinfo's twitter says "Superb hundred from Morgan. Unlikely to be enough to earn him a Test place, though."
Surely that's rubbish? He was already the most likely, and now he's a cert isn't he?
