Again unselected. 230 in the 4th innings in those conditions against Anderson-Broad was going to be tough for any team. 'with ease' ellAm vAippE illai.

Did you see the kind of movement even far far lesser bowlers like Wagner,Boult were getting? Most of the Kiwi line-up didn't stand much of a chance in that against the far superior bowling of Anderson-Broad.

They needed Taylor to click and score. Once he was gone, the match was in the kitty.

There were others. The point is, he isn't wholly dependent on conditions, case in point Dubai.

Overall: Broad is one of the best around and it doesn't get said enough, although he keeps proving this again and again.
