Sure, but more often than not we pound the opposition into the dirt with a big lead. We were able to win the games in that series later on serious turners because we had Pant and Rohit to take on the spinners. Without them, the rest of this lineup cant do **** on a turning track imo.
Pretty sure he would have won the test given the only reason we did not win was the piss poor captaincy of Rahane.
Sundar has been injured and is expected to come back in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. They wont let him play a test directly without proving his fitness somewhere. Grapevine has it that he is expected to travel to RSA if that tour does happen.
As long as Kane wins a toss and we get to bat 1st and bat big.
Whats he doing in rsa
A tour.
Not last night I didn’t. My 6 year-old daughter woke up and needed me to help her to the toilet at around 2.30am. She then woke up ready to start the day at 5.45am. I may have had a wee doze in between. I feel shattered. But also have the warm glow of a good game of cricket to help me survive the day. My big concern is getting through a meeting with the CEO without losing focus and zoning out to the degree that I find myself accidentally saying “91 ****ing balls on debut to save a test, you ****ing beauty” to her out loud.
Wagner for Nicholls. Somers outbatted Henry in both innings.
Ross Taylor, 2011 World Cup
Sandpit
I completely agree with this, although I know it's not going to happen. He's a walking wicket against left arm spin. There's every chance he's going to get those Bangladesh and SA Tests at home as his swansong. Ideally, with everyone fit, Conway comes back in to open and Young bats 4. I'd like to see that happen from the Bangladesh series, but you'd imagine that will be on Ross' terms.
Agree that Taylor shouldn't play. But he will. I don't always agree with the option to back the senior players (e.g. World Cup super over to Boult and not Ferguson, Santner playing in Lord's test), but the selection stability has been a feature of this high-performing team.
