Top effort from these two.

Nice to see England players actually playing spin well; think the commentators just said the two spinners have bowled 17 overs for 85 with just one wicket.


Agree with Taylor, he's the best player of spin we have - would like to have him in the middle overs preferably.

I'd prefer to have a few hitters up the order with stabilizers down the order. In other words order it differently to red ball cricket.
 

A shame that Buttler and Tayler didnt take it through to the end, one of them deserved to hit the winning runs.

Disagree Bri, I have always felt the order should be in the style of:

Pinch hitter
Steady
Steady
Pinch hitter
Steady
Pinch hitter.

I know you're not advocating it, but having 3 pinch hitters could have you 30/3 just as easily as 150/1 for example. If it's 30/3 the steady players might get bogged down too much and we would end up having the same debate.
 
Great result. Amazing that Taylor couldn't get a game six months ago.
