HERBERT TAYLOR RETIRING.
Conclusion of Brilliant Test Career.
Stylish and quick-footed, Taylor, who was born at Durham in 1880,: has often stepped into the breach when things have been going badly for his side and he has invariably pulled a game out of the fire.
He first appeared for South Africa in Test matches in 1912 and in the following year, when only 24, he captained South Africa against England. He was also captain in 1921 (v. Australia) and 1922 and 1924 (v. England). Taylor has played in over 40 Test matches and scored over 8,000 runs, including six centuries, all against England, the highest being 176 at Johannesburg in 1922-29:
