Such an un-Gambler-like bowling performance, especially at home. New ball actually did the trick up front - Pumas were 100/4 with their best two bats back in the shed - but then Taylor couldn't put away the lesser bets in the lower middle order. Usually happens the other way, with the opposition top order getting off to a flyer and Taylor/Read bringing it back.

 

First half of the Pumas innings - 100 runs.
Second half of the Pumas innings - 443 runs.

Crazy.

EDIT: Actually no, ignore me, they were 100/4; not 100/5

 

i would've dropped Dorn for this match. Would've either gone with Hall at 8, or played the extra fast bowler and moved Harps up to 8.

Shows what I know.
