Taylor who is also called “Tubby” has played for many teams including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 and South Wales cricket teams respectively. He falls in the category of the few players, who bat left handily and ball with their right arm. The veteran bowled right-arm medium
pace bowling, which allowed him to bowl a total of 42 balls as he gave away 26 runs taking a handful of 1 wicket. His best bowling figures in the longer version of the game are 1 for 11.
Out of the 104 Tests played by him, Tubby made only 186 appearances with the bat, as he scored a massive of 7525 runs, at an average of 43.49. He has 19 centuries and 40 half centuries to his name, with a best of an unbeaten 334. He also was able to maintain
a modest of 41.48 strike rate throughout his international Test career, which was well supported by 727 boundaries and 9 smashing sixes.

among the all time left handed greats.
