Caribbean Premier League 2017: 5 marquee players who failed in the first week

#1 Jerome Taylor- St Lucia Stars

Jerome Taylor has leaked runs at an alarming rate

Jerome Taylor is predominantly a swing bowler, who likes to float the ball up to the batsman and induce them to play false strokes. He has been a prolific wicket-taker for the West Indies, but his career has been cut short due to injuries at regular intervals.

Albeit he has picked up a couple of wickets in the tournament, he has hardly been able to make any sort of an impact with the ball. He started off well during the Stars’ opening game against the Knight Riders when he cleaned up Sunil Narine with a peach of an in-swinger.

Since then, things have gone downhill for the Caribbean pacer. In the Stars’ erstwhile game against the Tridents, Taylor was thrashed by Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard as he ended with figures of 4-0-55-1.
