I wonder why Taylor would stick around after this World Cup? Playing three tests and five ODIs per year and losing most of them can't be that entertaining.

Taylor should both stick around and get a county contract. It is about time he was selected and paid as an international. He is an allrounder and very experienced but not too old.

Tom Moody is the coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad. BT was part of the squad. Forget about picking, despite availability post marriage, he was not even called to be with the squad. This year too, his name is not there. To hell with IPL

@TomMoodyCricket @BrendanTaylor86 @ZimCricketv Hope @SunRisers will realize the blunder of excluding him from IPL. #WhatAPlayer #Respect

I just checked that few Orange Army fans have already twitted before mine to include him in SRH

Yeah last year the SRH fans were tweeting BT like mad saying "when will we get to see you play for the Sunrisers?". Last season was difficult for him as Sunrisers already had 4 decent overseas players in their starting eleven (Warner, Finch, Sammy and Steyn).

Even though the 'player auction' has already taken place surely players can still be snapped up, right?

Apparently his hundred off 79 balls is the fastest ODI century by a Zimbabwean.

The only other one that came to mind was Coventry's 194* (off 156 balls) - but his hundred came off 110 balls.
