I'm still not confident that Ross is comfortable at all out there but I am relatively confident that he is capable of whacking a few. In this situation I'm not sure whether that actually counts as confidence.

Yeah they do. I think it's kind of stupid. I guess Asian sides are less likely to do that because they specialise more in putting men around the bat when playing at home or whatever.

With Rogers gone though, there isn't much choice. Smith/Warner can't field there as they're more important elsewhere, which leaves Burns/Usman/Voges. As Gnske pointed out earlier, last time Usman fielded there he was just as useless, and against the quicks, Voges is in the slips.

Imagine how much worse life would be if Boon wasn't short leg in his career because some new guy had to do the hard yards.

Weird how Ross only has 65 tests to his name despite starting a year or so after Cook.

I feel like Taylor is at a stage in his career that he is good enough to churn out runs even when he is woefully out of form. I cant really remember a kiwi being able to do that before so its kinda nice.

Ross being boss would be better though.

I know it's been talked about a lot on this forum but it's really something how seemingly everyone in the world "knows" that Ross Taylor has been out of sorts for the last 12 months, yet in that time he's had one of the most productive years of ODI cricket in NZ history and just had a fairly innocuous run of average form over a very small number of tests.

i wonder if he's just gotten even worse than he already was at getting started?

even when he scored three tons in a row he had hairy moments early. haven't seen him come in and bat on cruise control since Taylor's Test (TM) against Sri Lanka where he got dropped as skipper the night before it.

quick someone piss him off.
