Taylor laments loss of quick wickets – Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – July 30, 2012

After relinquishing a healthy first innings lead, the Kiwis were put in a strong position to save the match at the end of Day 4 ( 199 for 3) before a Kemar Roach-led charge on the final day halted the tourists, who were eventually bundled out on 272.
Roach claimed the important scalps of Taylor and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KS-Williamson-c1813 in the first half-an-hour of play, leaving his side to chase a small 102.
"We had a chance to realistically draw the match. But losing two wickets - myself, Kane [Williamson] and [later] Dan's [Vettori] wickets - was key. Everyone got a start in most of the games, here we just lost our way and lost momentum," http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 said.

Taylor was the preferred choice for the English selectors after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RS-Bopara-c2373 was forced to miss out the clash due to personal reasons. Bopara, who had made a return to the side in place of Jonny Bairstow, managed just 22 from two innings during the team’s
heavy loss at the Oval.
The Poms will be hoping that Taylor’s inclusion would sort out the problematic no.6 position, and Newell has backed the youngster to emulate his County success and succeed at Test level.
South Africa’s bowling coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528 for praise, claiming that the player has found a bit more of that mongrel.
Morkel has an impressive first Test, where he dismissed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964, in the first over of the game and consequently took 4 wickets in the first innings to help restrict the hosts to 385.
Donald says that the aggression in Morkel’s game has helped him achieve success on a consistent level. “He has gone a little bit further in terms of his personal development," Donald said. "He has found something else, he has found a bit more of that mongrel
that we talk about.”
