I wonder if that's the last we see of Ross in international cricket
Had the feel of 'I've had enough of this now'

Same... I think he's going "**** this". With covid, no practice and all that it's impossible to score big. I guess one game at home and he's going to pull the plug. I've seen him go like this but not as wild as this. At least he used to block the good ones.

 

[straw man]

If Taylor wants a big send off why not do it in ODI cricket? Bigger crowd and all. He’s a liability on any sort of tricky surface these days.

What is an 'ODI'?

He’s the dog in garfield.

The umpiring really has been woeful this series.

I haven’t checked the schedule, tell me we are at least playing 1 this summer?

Yeah, thank **** the BCCI isn’t still stonewalling the DRS.

Twitter joke :

All the wickets in this match has been taken by Indian or Indian origin people.

I wondered the same - 3 vs Australia 30 Jan to 5 Feb and yes, 3 vs Netherlands 29 Mar to 4 Apr.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Not sure

jeez…dunno if I wanna see him bow out after being roughed up by Aussies quicks. Maybe he can slap a memey JAMODI ton against an Aussie B team

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Also 3 ODIs in Australia

Its mainly this guy, Anil Chowdhary. Shocking. Someone argued here that he wud have decided pad first on the Kohli dismissal from the first innings. My ass. He just did not even see there was an inside edge. He is a shocking umpire, should not be standing in tests IMO.

Unless he improves dramatically of course.

oh IN Australia. Ah well. Guess there won’t be a glorious send off.

 

[Moss]

Did say well before this series it was a tour too far for Taylor. No satisfaction in being proved right though, sounds like it was legit sad to see.

 

[Bahnz]

Can we please have one of those arsey Henry daddy hundreds were he gets dropped 4 times? No? Ok, just thought I’d ask.

 

[thierry henry]

Taylor’s average dipping below 45 is a bit of a bummer too.

Such a shame he didn’t walk off into the sunset arm in arm with BJ after the WTC final.

real win for blokes who love logging on to the cricket web forum to discuss who is the best batsman with an average <45 though one has to say

Unfortunately Ross has a lot of holes in his record so he’s more of a guy who relies on a good overall average to paper over the cracks
