Jerome Taylor brings delayed riposte
We wrongly predicted a stunning West Indies fightback in the first Test against Pakistan. It turns out that they were just biding their time until the second Test.
At 212-2 and even 315-5, Pakistan looked well-set for one of their traditionally humungous first innings totals, as is their wont at home. Thanks to Jerome Taylor they collapsed to 357 all out. He finished with 5-91. We still haven't seen him live, but he's quick and he takes wickets, so we can't see any problems. We've previously included a video of the hat-trick he took during the Champions' Trophy.
After that, the West Indian openers made the most of the momentum by reaching 151-0 at the close of play. You see: Bowling's always the key.
We're making a conscious effort to not ignore the whole of the rest of the cricketing world while the Ashes are on. You're with us, right?

Taylor certainly seems the real deal. Taking five wickets in Pakistan is some feet for a young quick.
well spoken - bowling is THE key -
we were lucky in the first test. the windies have woken up now. yet we will continue to play 3 allrounders who can't bowl or bat for (*&*( in tests
