Perth: Ecstatic to have scored in a pressure situation, England batsman James Taylor today said he derived a lot of satisfaction after his side pulled off a win against India from a tricky position to secure a place in the ODI tri-series final.
Chasing a modest target of 201, England were tottering at 66 for five at one stage but staged a gritty fightback through Taylor (82) and Jos Buttler (67), as their stand steered the team to a three-wicket win with 19 balls to spare.
“I'm delighted to make a score in a pressure situation, that's what I pride myself on, finishing games and winning games.
The way I was playing until 60-odd for five, I was struggling myself. But I managed to get through that and work the ball around. I know my game extremely well now.
I wasn't playing my best cricket but I did a job and that's what I do,” Taylor said at the post-match press conference.
