New Zealand Cricket has destroyed Ross Taylor's soul, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Martin-David-Crowe-c74854 – Cricket News Update
Martin Crowe, the former Black Caps’ captain, has slammed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 as the captain of the national team but feels that the middle-order batsman will bounce back in international cricket.
The 28-year-old cricketer has been replaced as the captain by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, after Taylor refused the offer of retaining the Test captaincy.
The decision taken by the Kiwi cricket officials is shocking for most cricket fans all around the world as the cricketer from Wellington led his country to a brilliant Test victory against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 at Colombo in his last match.
In his article for ESPNcricinfo, the former New Zealand captain did not hesitate in using harsh words for NZC and blamed the authority for playing with Taylor’s career, who in Crowe’s opinion is the best Kiwi batsman at the moment.
Crowe understands that it is not easy for Taylor to lift his spirits after the kind of treatment he has received from the cricket board. The cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wellington-c864 has made himself unavailable for the tour of South Africa, which will surely hamper the Black Caps’ chances against one of the best teams of world-cricket at the moment.
“Over the last week NZC destroyed the soul of Ross Taylor, easily our best player. They have apparently apologised for the way his sacking from the captaincy was handled. Nevertheless they have amputated his spirit and there is no prosthetic for that,” wrote the former captain.
The recently removed captain has scored more than seven thousand runs in international cricket with the help of 14 centuries and is one of the most experienced Kiwi cricketers at the moment, whose presence will be dearly missed by Brendon McCullum and company against the Proteas.
Crowe hopes that the middle-order batsman will return to international cricket very soon and was all praise for his abilities as a batsman.
He added, “http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 is such a resilient character that he will bounce back. But he will probably never trust NZC again. Coaches will come and go and it won't affect his batting, which has been amazing while he has been captain.”
