Brendan Taylor nominated for Cricinfo award

Post by brmtaylor.com admin »

Brendan Taylor was nominated for Cricinfo's best Twenty20 batsman award.
Brendan Taylor: 60 off 45 balls v Australia
World Twenty20, Cape Town

It wasn't a typical Twenty20 blitz. Taylor's 60 came off 45 runs and included only two sixes. What made it special was, it led Zimbabwe to a hard-earned and historic victory against a power-packed Australia. Zimbabwe's bowlers did a splendid job of restricting Australia to 138 on a slow pitch, but most people expected Australia to still prevail. Taylor, however, stood firm at one end while the batsmen at the other searched for quick runs. He wasn't flustered when Chamu Chibhabha and Tatenda Taibu fell in successive overs, or when the rain threatened to bring Duckworth-Lewis into a tense equation. The situation was getting out of hand with 52 needed off 36 balls, and Taylor responded with two sixes off Brad Hodge. With 12 needed off the final over, Taylor swept Nathan Bracken for four before sealing the victory with four leg-byes off the penultimate delivery.
