Taylor ? Woeful run with the bat ? :shock: He's scored two hundreds and a 78 in the past tour mate, where's he failing ?
If you call that woeful, what would you call Ervine or Chigumburas form ?
Remember when we used to argue about Craig Ervine mate, you stuck up for him and I dissed him.
How times change sloandog :mrgreen:
I am just curious, especially given his awful run in the ODI's, what people think.
It was NOT an awful run. He got an absolutely crucial ton in the middle of the series.

Can you please provide evidence for that assertion.
Cheers.
As captain he has scored two centuries and a half-century. In the 7 matches he has been captain his average is 44.14, in the 144 matches he hasn't been captain his average is 31.19. Sure Taylor has got out cheaply also, but Taylor has always been a feast or famine kind of player - much like Brian Lara. Taylor either scores big or not at all.

ShareA bit too early to judge,Taylor has been captain for less 3 months...besides give the guy a break he's just settling in.
