Josh Taylor - Purleigh CC

Josh Taylor profile

Josh "Bulk" Taylor
Club treasurer, joint groundsman and general dogsbody. Larger than life, over excitable big hitting opening batsman. Used to be able to bowl some very slow legspin (AKA pies that took wickets). Stands at first slip handing out awful banter, mainly to his own teammates. Famously fell head first into a ditch trying to stop a 6 in the last over of a cup final.
