Our batsmen need 160s... not just 60s, says Bayliss

ENGLAND gained one small victory when they brushed aside a Cricket Australia XI as they prepared for the big one at the Gabba. But their Australian coach Trevor Bayliss says they need 160s in the first Test — not 60s. ‘We are slowly getting there,’ said Bayliss after England had bowled out a weak CA team for 75 in Adelaide on Saturday. ‘It was an improvement on the last game and we have still got some improvement in us and a way to go before that first Test. We are heading in the right direction. ‘It was good to see a number of guys spend time in the middle. ‘The No1 thing, though, is 60s are not enough. We need 160s.’
