James William Arthur Taylor (born 6 January 1990,
Early life
Taylor was born in Burrough on the Hill, a small village in Leicestershire. Taylor's father, Steve is a former National Hunt jockey who is now a race starter after injury forced him to retire.[5][6] Taylor is known for his diminutive height being only five feet five inches tall, he is one of the shortest cricketers in the English game. Taylor says that his batting is not weakened by his height saying that "It’s good for hooking, and less can go wrong with my feet movement. I use it to my advantage as I like to cut and pull. As I have grown up I have embraced it".[5] Taylor attended Shrewsbury School where he studied his A-Levels as well as playing for the cricket team.[7]
County Cricket Career
Debut and Beginnings
Prior to his debut, Taylor, in his early teens, had links to the Worcestershire academy.[8] He also played for his local team Loughborough Town and his Shrewsbury School team. For Loughborough Town he made the headlines as an 18 year old for a record breaking innings where he made 202 not out . This was only the second time that a player had reached a double century in Everards League top flight.[9][10]
At the age of 18, Taylor was included in the 12 man squad to face Worcestershire at New Road in April 2008. At the time he was still an A-Level pupil at Shrewsbury School and was given permission to play. Then Leicestershire coach, Tim Boon had said that the selection of Taylor in the squad was dependent on the New Road pitch and if it merited an extra batsman.[11] Taylor was selected and batted at 7. He made 8 in his first and only innings before being trapped lbw by Kabir Ali.[12]. The game ended in a draw, as both teams were frustrated by the weather. [13] He made his Twenty20 debut along with teammate Sam Cliff at the County Ground in a seven wicket defeat against Derbyshire.[14][15] Despite two late victories, including a win in the reverse fixture against Derbyshire at Grace Road, where Taylor contributed 10, Leicestershire finished bottom of the respective group in the 2008 Twenty20 Cup. [16][17] Taylor made only his second first-class appearance in a 3-day tour match against Bangladesh A as part of their 2008 tour of England.[18] In this drawn match Taylor made his maiden half century of 51 from 109 balls before being caught off Shakib Al Hasan.[19] Taylor completed his Leicestershire one day season in 2008 with two Natwest pro40 games against Derbyshire and Surrey. He top scored with 43 not out in a narrow 6 run victory against Derbyshire and hit 37 in a loss against Surrey before being caught off youngster Stuart Meaker to end his Leicestershire season on a high.[20]
2009 - Breakthrough
Taylor was awarded the Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year for his 898 runs for Shrewsbury School in 2008, at an average of 179.60. The award also recognised his Youth International appearances and his County matches.[21][22][23] Taylor played for Leicestershire against the West Indies as part of their 2009 tour of England but struggled, recording scores of just four and five in a 3-day drawn match.[24] Taylor was selected to play in his first County Championship match of 2009 against Middlesex on 28 April. In the first innings Taylor made eight before being caught off the bowling of Neil Dexter. In the second innings he scored his maiden first-class century, in his seventh game scoring 122 not out to help save the match and earn a draw.[25][26][27] He followed up this performance with a match winning innings in the Friends Provident Trophy against Worcestershire on 12 May. Taylor achieved his maiden first-class one-day century scoring 101 before being run out by Matthew Mason, winning the player of the match award.[28] This performance saw him become Leicestershire's youngest ever player to score a one-day century, taking the record from former England and Leicestershire star, David Gower.[29] The innings garnered much media attention with Leicestershire's then coach, Tim Boon declaring Taylor to have the talent to become a "star" and of having "so much potential".[30] Despite an above average performance in the 2009 Twenty20 Cup Leicestershire were to miss qualification for the next rounds only by one point, losing out to Durham. On 31 July, Taylor was selected for the county game against Surrey. On 1 August Taylor scored an unbeaten double century against Surrey, scoring 207 not out, spending seven hours at the crease, whilst sharing an unbeaten partnership of 230 runs with Jacques Du Toit who also made a century as Leicestershire declared on 593/5.[31][32] Taylor became the youngest Leicestershire player to score a double century.[33] In a first-class match against Essex at Chelmsford. Taylor scored his third first-class century of his career with a knock of 112 not out, in the first innings as well as scoring a further 62 runs in the second innings to earn a draw for Leicestershire.[34] The knock was praised in particular for his play and survival against the spin of Pakistan International bowler Danish Kaneria who claimed eight wickets in Leicestershire's first innings and twelve in the match. The knock proving his worth against a quality spinner on a spinning pitch.[35]. In the second innings of this match Taylor surpassed 1000 runs for the season making him the youngest player to achieve this feat for Leicestershire.[36] Taylor's good form helped him push for an England Lions in the winter.[37] Despite Taylor's good form throughout the season, where he scored 1207 runs in 17 first-class matches for Leicestershire in 2008, hitting three centuries and six half-centuries at an average of 57.47, coming sixth for the amount of runs scored in Division two that season.[38] Leicestershire still finished at the bottom of Division two in the County Championship making it a disappointing season where eleven of the sixteen games were drawn.[39] In September 2009 he was named the Cricket Writers' Club Young Cricketer of the Year, ahead of Stuart Broad.[40][41][42][43] In October, he was also named the Professional Cricketers' Association Young Player of the Year.[44][45] Taylor's breakthrough season in 2008 helped him gain inclusion in the winter England Performance Program.[46] He was also named in the England Lions in January 2010 to travel to the UAE, Taylor declared he was "thrilled" by the opportunity and also said that he had coaching sessions with Dene Hills and Graham Gooch.[47] In November 2009, Taylor signed a 3-year contract extension with Leicestershire keeping him at the club until 2012.[48]
2010
Leicestershire began the 2010 County Championship against Northamptonshire, Leicestershire winning by six wickets, with Taylor hitting 88 in the first innings [49] Taylor then went through a poor run, not scoring above 50 in the County Championship for six first-class games meaning that he hit one first-class half century for 14 innings for Leicestershire. In May, in a pro40 match against Warwickshire he hit 92 not out in 77 balls in a losing cause in a rain affected match.[50] In the County Championship, Taylor returned to form hitting his second unbeaten double-century of his career with a total of 206 not out against Middlesex. He shared a 360 run partnership with teammate Andrew McDonald which is a record fourth wicket partnership for Leicestershire and it was just 30 runs for the all time Leicestershire partnership. The pair took just 73 overs to compile the runs and it was the first time in the 2010 season that Leicestershire were able to gain all five batting points.[51][52][53] In June, Taylor hit his then highest T20 score against Yorkshire, he scored 60 from 42 balls in a 9 wicket loss.[54] Taylor also hit successive T20 half-centuries on the 25 and 27 June against Lancashire and Yorkshire. He hit 61 and 62 not out respectively, against Yorkshire he beat his previous highest score in T20 which he made also against Yorkshire seven days previous.[55][56] Taylor's form continued during the T20 season as six days later he also hit another unbeaten half-century against Nottinghamshire.[57] On 25 July Taylor made his second List A century against Warwickshire. Taylor made 103 not out in a losing cause, also in this match Taylor took four wickets to earn his best one day bowling figures of 4-61.[58] On 9 August, Taylor hit his fifth first-class century against Middlesex, three of which have been against Middlesex, as he hit 106 not out in a drawn match.[59] Taylor ended the season with his sixth century this time against Northamptonshire as he hit 156 before being caught off the bowling of David Burton.[60] Taylor finished the county season with 1095 runs in 18 first-class matches at an average of 43.80.[61] Taylor was again, like last season, selected for the England Lions tour of West Indies in January 2011.[62]
