Claire Taylor retires

England women's news: Claire Taylor announces retirement | Women's Cricket Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo

Sucks

Surely she's one of England women's cricket's best ever players. She's been so key in all the success England have had recently, has played loads of big innings at important times... though this one comes to mind as one of the best.

Chix don't play cricket

Chix, eh?

She's had a good career, a great career in fact....fair play.

Certainly a great career.

The NZ captain, Aimee Watkins, retired today as well, coincidentally. One of our better players.

Yeah she was a good player for them. I haven't watched too many games but I reckon she was one of their key players with the bat.

I like the English womens team, I find Sarah Taylor to be reasonably cute and a couple of others aren't bad either. Moving onto cricket, yeah good team.

Need to find out more before rating her. Pix anyone?

I love how blatantly ***ist this thread has become in just 5 posts

Hmm, "love" not the word I'd use...

Anyway, yeah, it sucks that she's retiring. Has a claim to be the best batswoman ever, not just England's.

You're right there. I didn't mean it that way.

Possibly true... I dont know much historically, but best of her era for sure.

You ***ist bastards!!! You should be focussing on the skills they bring to the game rather than their looks. Stop objectifying women cricketers in this fashion!

Claire was a top-notch performer. May she have a good retired life.











Btw, C. Taylor doesn't look all that appealing to me. Katherine Brunt has an arse to kill for and Elysse Perry and Sarah Taylor have the best all-round package in the game!

 

[Himannv]

England will have some trouble replacing Claire taylor. Luckily they still have Sarah Taylor. She's quite good with the bat herself.

Bigger picture please. Would like to have a closer look at her... stance.

Good servant for Otago cricket over the last few years too. I'm sure she'll enjoy her retirement.
