[Gnske]

Jesus, talk about out of the blue.

Its a pity, was hoping this would be his breakout season.

Very sad news. Such a good player whose career was looking like it was about to take off. Hope all goes well for him in the future.

I honestly thought the thread must be referring to some other James Taylor. And yeah the timing is just cruel, had worked so hard to get back in the side.

I did too..but I have more of an excuse I feel..

 

[BoyBrumby]

Must be gutting for the boy, but at least it's been detected before a real tragedy could ensue.

Feels like one of those "some things are bigger than cricket" moments.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Sad to hear and wish him the best for the future.

 

[morgieb]

Awful news, was utterly shocked when I saw the headline.

I mean I guess it could be much worse, but even so little consolation for the bloke right now. Just an utter shame all round.

 

[the big bambino]

Yes awful news but fortunate it was detected before tragedy occurred. Here's hoping that he will still find a career in cricket and I'm sure the game will look after him.

 

[indiaholic]

Aye this sucks. Really feel for the guy.. Glad that it was detected in time though.

 

[Kirkut]

Health comes first, everything is far secondary. Wish good health for James Taylor.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Absolutely heart breaking

 

[Furball]

Just saw this on the Guardian website, ****ing hell.

Echo everyone's sentiments that at least his condition has been diagnosed before the unthinkable happened.

 

[Jarquis]

I'm gutted - after having been a fan of his for so long it finally seemed like this was going to be his to kick on and cement himself in the side.... But as has been said; I would much rather this than the probable alternative had it not been diagnosed

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

One of my fav player from England team. Very sad.

[Niall]

Very sad news.

He speaks well and is quite likable. Sky could do a lot worse than sign him up for the blast coverage, it would be refreshing to get someone like his viewpoint rather than most of the guys who they use.

 

[ImpatientLime]

sad news.

thought he had the potential to be that rarest of species, a great English odi batsman.
