World Cup memory
Taylor's big b'day bash

Birthday boy Ross Taylor's unbeaten, match-winning innings of 131 off 124 balls against Pakistan in Pallekele during the 2011 World Cup makes for an interesting case study. While Taylor's first 108 balls fetched him just 69 runs on March 8, the veteran Kiwi batsman surprised everyone with the carnage on display towards the end where he accumulated 61 runs off the last six overs.
