Earmarked as one of the next big things when he made his one-day
debut for New Zealand in 2006, the belligerent Ross Taylor has all
but delivered on his incredible promise. It took only three ODIs
before Taylor announced his destructive power to world cricket,
blasting 128 not out against the Sri Lankans in Napier. Since then
he has amassed a respectable record - averaging over 40 in Test
cricket and 35 in one-day cricket - in all forms of the game and in
2011 took over the captaincy of the Black Caps from Daniel Vettori.
Taylor has become a fan favourite thanks to his big hitting power.
He favours scoring on the leg-side, particularly looking to slog
sweep the spinners over mid-wicket. In 2010 he hit the fastest Test
century by a New Zealander in just 81 balls against Australia in
Hamilton. That is one of six of his Test hundreds to date but
with 15 Test 50s he is quickly forging a reputation of a player who
throws his wicket away when he is seemingly in.
