Brendan Taylor, who was fast-tracked into the
Zimbabwe national team against Sri Lanka in 2003-04 at the age of 18
after the withdrawal of the so-called "rebel" players, has long been
regarded as potential Test player. He began as an opening batsman,
but in 2005 moved down to the middle-order. Taylor certainly has the
ability to build an innings, as is testified by his record of close
to 30 centuries in all classes of cricket, but recently has been
dismissed trying to play too aggressively. There is more than one
string to his bow, he has kept wicket since the age of eight, and
also plans to develop his offbreaks. He attended Lilfordia Primary
School near Harare, which is virtually run by the Campbell family,
and Iain - the father of Alistair and Donald - quickly recognised
his talent from the start and nurtured him. He was selected for the
Partridges, the national primary-school side, at the age of 11; he
has been selected for age-group teams ever since, and has played in
two Under-19 World Cups. He made his first-class debut for
Mashonaland A at the age of 15; the following year he scored 200 not
out in the B Division of the Logan Cup. In an attempt to refine his
game, he was selected for the CFX Academy in 2004. (March 2005)
