Biography Of Mark Taylor - The Tubby Of Australian Cricket

By Shubham Shah December 07, 2020 • 13:49 PM View: 609

Mark Taylor was such a masterful opening batsman, slip fielder and captain for Australia that he was looked upon as an all-rounder. A heavily built left-hander who played classically late, Taylor made 839 Test runs on his first England tour (1989) and for most of his 104 Tests remained reassuringly solid. He was equally dependable at first slip, where he cradled most of his world-record 157 catches.

Nicknamed “Tubby” or “Tubs”, he was widely regarded as an instrumental component in Australia's rise to Test cricket dominance, and his captaincy was regarded as adventurous and highly effective.
