Thunder land Taylor for WBBL01

Thu, Dec 3, '15

Taylor is the third West Indian to sign on for WBBL|01, joining Hayley Matthews (Hurricanes) and self-proclaimed ‘female Chris Gayle’ Deandra Dottin (Scorchers).

The Sydney Thunder have landed one of the biggest names in Women’s Cricket, signing West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor for the inaugural rebel Women’s Big Bash League season.
One of world’s best players with both bat and ball, Taylor is the latest in a string of internationals to announce they will be part of WBBL|01. Taylor’s impressive cricketing resume includes an average of 45.62 in ODIs, while her 87 international appearances to date have produced five centuries and 22 half-centuries.
With the ball the 24-year-old yields just over 16-runs for every wicket she takes in T20 internationals. Taylor bowls sharp off-spin which has seen her take 56 T20I wickets from 50 innings.
She starred for the Windies against Pakistan earlier this year with scores of 98no and 87no, while she posted scores of 95, 78 and 52 against the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars last summer.
