Williamson should definitely be in the side though, as I pointed out yesterday. He struck at 132 yesterday which is more than fine and he struck at 140 in the World T20. Taylor has been consistently crap for a while and it's concerning but Williamson should be one of the first picked IMO.

Hesson will be very aware of how crap Taylor has been in t20. It's lucky no one cares about international t20s because dropping him would be very awkward. I suppose he'd be able to justify it to the media as "giving Taylor a rest from the heavy workload" or something along those lines.
He did this a fair bit during the series tests last summer. Seems to be when the ball loses the shine and isn't swinging for him.

Did he get upto those type of speeds? I'm not surprised he did, he's obvs done it before. I just hadn't seen it in a while.
Disappointed WW was a no show after the third test. Talked a big game the last few months and now he's bolted. Ah well.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
nz were lucky since we didn't play Narine!!!!!!! the selection of shillingford over blackwood was bad enough but leaving narine out is where we lost it. the NZ batsmen have ptsd from the last time they toured and from the 6fer he took in NZ....tbh the only way we lost. also roach taking 8 wickets in the match while boult and southee taking 5 and 4 respectively shows he's a better bowler. imo we won 3 innings in this test. nz wouldn't have passed 300 in their second if we had williamson out early. he definitely took advantage of there being no narine!!!!!

Thanks for that Kippers.
Yes he can slog it onside. He is an awesome T20 player. I don't know why he only averages 22. I coming around to believe that T20 is his best format.

Neither am I. It was open season on him towards the end (a lot of which he brought on himself by complaining about the baz lbw). He simply couldn't continue amidst those comments.
