Is Ross Taylor The Future?

maheshprasad · 29-03-2007, 01:30 AM

Well,I certainly think that he is going to be the best batsman of the future,may be 7 years from now.Share your opinion

Just as likely to be some unknown Pakistani or Aussie we've never even heard of yet.

7 years is a ridiculously long time. Taylor will probably be good, yes, but best in The World? In 7 years? That's a guess no-one can make with any remote pretence of accuracy.

He reminds me of Ally Cook and I think both have the potential to be leading players in 7 years time. Saying that, Richard's point is perfectly valid IMO

Prince EWS · 29-03-2007, 07:00 AM

In what way does he remind you of Cook?

Not having a go at you - just wondering, as I can't see many similarities at all other than them being young and batsmen.

The guy is talented definetly just hope he works hard and becomes a top player for NZ for many years to come.

I think he's already NZ's best batsman, and will go on to become their all time greatest.

I could imagine him being in the top 5 in the world.

To be NZ Greatest batsmen is not out of the question but you have the likes of Martin Crowe to compete with?

Richard · 29-03-2007, 04:06 PM

Bowman clearly meant right now not of all-time.

And such a suggestion - in ODIs - is quite reasonable IMO.

As west indies are well on their way out of WC did anyone think they can still get through or ever had a chance

Wrong forum, wrong thread, wrong comment...

He's great to watch, but personally, I think his tendency to swing across the line when he's faced a few dots will get him in trouble, especially if it carries over to test cricket. (which going on his FC record it probably does.)

Undoubtedly the best of New Zealand's next generation of batsmen, and arguably the most exciting batting prospect to have emerged anywhere in the last year. Looks a bit suspect when he plays the hook but otherwise has few weaknesses besides a tendency to try and push the run rate too early in his innings.

Burgey · 30-03-2007, 02:06 AM

Well, he isn't the past....

KiWiNiNjA · 30-03-2007, 06:30 AM

The FUTURE is that which has not happened yet.

So NO, Ross Taylor is NOT the FUTURE.

But he will take part in the FUTURE!
