Problem with the BT approach is that there is still too much time to play in the game. We dont want a Sri Lanka situation where there was just enough time in the game for them to think about winning and not just saving the test. He could have faced 60 balls for that 24

that was awful bating taylor, wicket always after a break.
Yeah it really was, it’s all well and good to get the game moving which really helped but too many balls in the air.

You can be attacking without hitting it in the air, buts that’s how he plays and it’s worked for us before.

Hopefully this doesn’t start the collapse

Taylor obviously went out with a mission to attack. His decision or the coach's?

He did throw it away, but if it had of come off for another hour we'd have really been in charge.

@nanctus, yeah one of my favourite as well. Other interesting grounds are Galle Cricket Ground, Sri Lanka with its fort
Lords, due to its history and I like the MCG for its size. I am sure there is some interesting grounds in INDIA I am not aware of

That’s the way he plays the spinners, didn’t look comfortable defending them either

My main problem was that he just put it there to be caught
