In that regard, would be pretty chuffed that they nipped the lad as early as they did today.

Didn't look too bad in the T20 WC.
Prior's a better Test batsman. There is no way on earth he is a better One Day option for England though. Has been tried and tested in ODi's in a wide range of batting positions and been useless at every one of them. He's been doing pretty well for Sussex in T20's this year, but a couple of good weeks don't make up for a career of dire LO's batting. Steven Davies is a better batsman, but I have no problem with Kieswetter being preferred ATM. He's scored runs, outplayed Davies by miles in the Lions side and scored runs against the Aussies in the World T20 final. He'll come good and make a score at least once in this series.

I didn't say that. I suspected that he might be down on pace, which he obviously isn't. Not worth a laughing smiley, imo, though.Hes lost pace

In these short spells, Tait is looking quite good, tbh. Up around 91mph in his third spell, which is pretty good pace and seems to still be rushing the batsmen. Reckon he can hold a permanent spot if he continues to bowl like this. A full strength attack of Bollinger, Johnson, Tait and Hauritz looks very strong, to me - with Harris sitting out incase someone is out of form.

I don't think one dismissal says that he is poor against pace.

Especially considering he made 63 against Tait, Nannes and Johnson only a few weeks ago. I see this being an ongoing pattern in Kieswetter's career. Has a couple of low scores > people write him off as not good enough and riddled with technical errors > he comes back and makes a big score. Has already happened twice. Was being slagged off after 2 innings in Bangladesh but made a century in the 3rd game, and then was slagged off throughout the World T20 before coming good at the end of the tournament. I think people need to give him more of a chance TBH.

Not one dismissal, he has been thoroughly unconvincing in this entire series, despite making good scores.

Who cares about a T20 match mate, not long back Murali Vijay scored 124 at 200 SR against Warne, Tait,Watto etc.

Awful comparison. Scoring runs on a flat pitch in India against an IPL attack is a little different to scoring a quickfire 63 against a world class pace attack, chasing a good total in a World tournament final.

Anyway my point was merely that it is illogical to base your conclusions only off 1 T20 performance. Bowlers are not machines and on an off day they could go offcolor. Anyway, one days allow bowlers more than 4 overs to do their stuff.
Balming performance by English cricket team for their soccer team's failures. A walloping indeed!
