Not out, too. I suspect he could have hit 150 if he faced the final over, though.

He is not a troll mate.

Unbelievable innings.

My faith in Taylor was growing a little thin with that long run of bad form - I was even starting to think that his place in the team shouldn't be guaranteed if he kept batting poorly for much longer.

But now he's back, and it was wonderful to watch. The awe I felt watching those shots far exceeded the joy at the fact that my team was amassing such a big score.

He was frankly, in horrendous form. What a way to turn it around.

Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta

"His partnership with Jacob Oram had the best strike-rate of any 50-plus stand in ODI history." - Cricinfo

Something about the batting today had to be unprecedented. So there it is. I also suspect 92 runs in last 4 overs might be the most scored in any 4 consecutive overs. Did Jayasuriya come close to that in his then fastest 100 in Singapore in 96?

Taylor played a similarly stormy inning in IPL 2 against KKR, much to the distress of his country Brendon McCullum.

I just hope he has turned it around. Let's face it, if anyone other than Kamran Akmal had been behind the stumps for Pakistan, then we'd now be discussing how woeful Taylor's form has been and whether he still warranted his place in the side.

Let's hope his run of bad form was just a confidence issue and he can now put it behind him.

He was brilliant today. I would easily put Taylor's knocked up there with O'Brien's in the World Cup. Very entertaining batting from him today.
