Campbell hails amazing Taylor |
|||||
Taylor Head Coach of the West Indies Women's Team, Sherwin Campbell, has described allrounder Stafanie Taylor as 'an amazing player' following another match-winning batting performance on Friday. The 20-year-old Taylor made a well-compiled 75 to win the Player-of-the-Match award, as Windies Women beat India Women by 42 runs to level the three-match One-Day International series at Warner Park. Taylor is presently at Number 1 among all-rounders in the International Cricket Council's One-Day Internationals rankings for women. She is also at Number 2 in Batting and in the Top 10 in Bowling. She has now made 1,807 runs and taken 55 wickets in 46 one-dayers to make her the most successful woman in West Indies history. "Stafanie has been superb for us in both the T20 and 50-over formats and she is performing really well in all departments — with the bat, with the ball and in the field. She is a leader in the team as well and plays with great confidence. Her confidence rubs off on the other players," said Campbell. "She is an amazing player. She is still very young at age 20 and will form a vital part of West Indies cricket in the future. She is a knowledgeable and committed cricketer and she has it in her to be one of the most successful women cricketers of all time." On Friday, West Indies batted first and made 204-6. Taylor added 60 runs for the fifth wicket with captain and keeper Merissa Aguillera, who made 33 off 37 balls and returned later in the day to take three catches and a stumping. In the second half of the match the Windies limited India to 162-9 off 50 overs. The best bowlers were teenage leg-spinner Shemaine Campbell (2-16), medium pacer Shakera Selman (2-17), and off-spinner Anisa Mohammed (2-29) in her 50th one-day international. |
