came in a touch and he'd already plonked his foot forward so he had to play around it. was he still taking that ridiculous off stump guard?

Yeah I have to agree. I made that post earlier that he might as well throw caution to the wind and attack but he hasn't done that. Looked sketchy at the start and when Australia tested him in certain periods, but after the initial period he's been vintage Taylor, a far cry from the batsman he's been lately.

Absolutely. If anything though the danger will be the selectors are also thinking 'well he's made fools of his critics before', and so will be retained past when he perhaps should be.
But without that extreme pace that he was able to intimidate the Poms and Saffers with he is a much less dangerous proposition. At his age he isn't likely to get it back. If he doesn't get a bag full or two against the Windies questions will well and truly be asked.

haha was about to say the same thing. they've been scoring absurdly fast all day but they haven't forced the pace at all so we don't notice.
Wow, that's when you know you've ****ed up.

TBF to Healy he does actually check the Test averages of players.

Looked like it hit that crack down the middle. Came back and stayed low.

Yeah, just checking suggests "(catches, runouts or stumpings) or boundaries". Although, my understanding was that in relation to "catches" it's only for the grounding/whether it carried as opposed to whether it came off the bat or pad (ie. the situation in McCullum's 1st test dismissal). If they are allowed to check all that would make more sense imo.

I know shaoib and lee were quick as **** in bursts, but were they ever "touching 150kph every single over second day in the field" kind of quick?

Lee definitely was for a while.
Definitely not Shoaib, he was a 4-5 over burst man with new ball or a vulnerable batsman. Also too fat. Lee, dunno but I doubt it. This is unreal fast bowling.
