Towards the back end of the warm-up that&#39;s when my chest started getting tight. Apart from being tight, it was beating at a million miles an hour. We were doing just a couple of routine catches and throws,&quot; Taylor was quoted as saying by the BBC on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;My heart was going wild at a funny rhythm. It was probably only about four degrees, really cold, and I got inside. Sweat from me is hitting the ground hard. So I knew I wasn&#39;t right.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;And that&#39;s when I thought I was going to die.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked how he is coping with the fact that he is not a cricketer anymore, Taylor said, &quot;I think that&#39;s been the hardest bit. When the doctor told me, I was in hysterics at first.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;But then he told me that the majority of these cases are only found out in the post-mortem. I almost stopped crying at that point and felt more lucky that I&#39;m in a position to tell this story now.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Agency<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
