James Taylor

19 year old Leics batsman, already with a championship double century to his name, and a couple of 90's in the last week as well, the latest being against a Kent attack containing 3 former international bowlers.

Reason to get excited?

Does he play in winter, spring, summer or fall?

Sweet dreams and flying machines lie in pieces on the ground.

Can he see the sunshine?
Can he just feel the moonshine?

Well I am sure he will do well at Karaoke Nights.

Will be funny if he plays against Bangladesh and Yusuf Islam.

Is he a Walking Man?

Could be a handy man for England...

His batting partner will be happy to know that he's got a friend.

All he has to do is call. Prevents run outs if done properly.

Reason to get frustrated actually. Taylor spent 3 years in Worcs. academy before being signed from under our noses by Leicestershire - another one slips through the net - but that's another story.

Taylor certainly has something about him - whether he's the real deal or the poor man's Ian Bell, only time will tell.

Is he any good at T20?

Doesn't look to have much power in his game, and is about 4ft 3

I've been keeping an eye on him this season ever since his epic forty-odd at TB in the FP Trophy (god, it was painful), and every time he gets on a bowler-friendly pitch against a decent attack he seems to rack up the single-figure scores. But for that double-ton his first-class average would be quite modest, even with it I think he's only averaging 40-odd which, in Div Two, is hardly ground breaking. He does look a good, talented player, but his returns need to be bigger to really start getting excited about him.

Personally, I think Tom New looks a decent bet at Leicestershire if he can start converting a few 50s into 100s.

Trust Trev.

That is all.

If you put enough names into the 'hat' you're bound to strike gold eventually...

He's put a lot of names in.

Here's the formula :

(Player < 23) OR (Player played < 20 games) + (Form = good to very good) + One headline performance = Trev creaming his knicks.

The forum's Justin Langer

He looks like he learned his technique from the same bloke who taught Phil Hughes. Classical he is not.

Oh come on you blokes. I'm just putting his name up there so as to provoke a discussion. I haven't shot my load over him. This thread is designed to try and answer the question- Is he any good?

Young kid making his way in the game. Doesn't look stand out - infact he looks 4ft 3'

I'm a bit Stewie Griffin indifferent about him. As Shoeshine says, gash backlift - made for an inside-out technique. He'd have to make marked improvements, coz people will be after him outside off getting to play miles away from his body.

Isn't Ian Bell small Lever? Didn't you bounce on the Bell dildo for 4 years even so?

He's a lot smaller than the Bellend

More of a butt-plug than a dildo?
