Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Even while his career numbers are mighty impressive, it cannot be denied that Taylor could have pushed his batting numbers up a bit more. Yes, he was a bowling all-rounder primarily and by that yardstick, he was excellent but with a bit more composure, he could have easily generated better figures in the batting department. Taylor's attacking mindset with the bat was what probably deprived him of the big scores consistently although it also gave him an x-factor, intimidating the opposition bowlers with his presence. One of his rare flaws as a cricketer was his inability to succeed in England despite having conditions that favored his style of play. That was perhaps the only drawback in an otherwise laudable career. After
retirement, he spent a considerable amount of time as selector, both at domestic and national level.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Bruce Taylor was a tall (6'3") allrounder who batted with aggression and bowled at fast-medium with an ability to move the ball both ways even on the least responsive pitches. His Test debut was dramatic - he smacked 105 in 158 minutes against India at Calcutta in 1964-65 and followed with 5 for 86 in India's first innings. In his next match he took 5 for 26. Thereafter, he was a regular in New Zealand's side, touring England three times (1965, 1969, 1973) , Pakistan (1964-65, 1969-70) and West Indies (1971-72). In England he struggled on pitches expected to favour him, but otherwise he was a model of consistency. He retired after his last England tour, but returned successfully for Wellington in 1978-79.
