Any idea why Taylor is out? Rest?
Brownlee looked good, Neesham undone by a cracking ball so not all bad on a slow paced pitch which would take some getting used to. This appraoch of Guptill's to be the anchor early on really doesn't help him when he gets out cheaply. I've always thought he was more of an Astle type batsman who is much better on attack rather than trying to stick around as the 70-80% strike rate guy.
