He was quite clearly a very good prospect to begin with, what with all the lazy elegance a la Inzy and Mark Waugh. But much like them, had serious issue with his footwork. In fact he rarely moved his feet and depended heavily on hand eye co-ordination. So, he could cash in on the wider ones outside off, but struggled when the deliveries were angled in, at good pace. He has since improved leaps and bounds on that, although, there is still a bit of improvement necesary with respect to the footwork at the beginning of the innings.sloandog wrote:Did anybody watch Taylor bat in 2004 in his debut series ? Can anyone shed some light on how much the man has actually improved, or has he always had this natural ability. I only ever really first saw him bat in 2007, and it looks like he batted the same then as he does now...
A very early question in Photo Quiz thread shows him being squared up with him losing his bat as well in his under 15 days, but we have come a long way since, haven't we? http://zimcricketforums.com/viewtopic.p ... t=30#p4429
