Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The 2003 season was a brilliant one for Taylor. He picked up 21 wickets in six games, including his best haul of 8/59 against Trinidad and Tobago. He continued to be a consistent performer by picking up 26 wickets in the 2004-05 season and 12 wickets in the 2006 season. With so many consistent returns, it was only a matter of time before he earned a recall back into the Test team after an indifferent show against the Sri Lankans in 2003. Playing in the third Test against India at St. Kitts, he managed to trouble the batsmen with his pace and bounce on a lifeless deck. He took it to the next level in the final Test on his home ground at Sabina Park.
His pace unsettled the best in the business and he finished up with match figures of 9/95, including his maiden five-wicket haul. He impressed on the tour to Pakistan when he picked up 5/91 and gave the West Indies a slim chance of winning the Test match. Taylor's Test form also reflected in the ODIs and in the Champions Trophy in 2006, he picked up a hat-trick against the Australians to become a spearhead of a depleted West Indies bowling line-up. He became the first West Indies bowler to take a hat-trick as he snapped up Michael Hussey, Brett Lee and Brad Hogg to set up a famous win against Australia.
Jamaica continued to be a favorite hunting ground for Taylor. After being out of the team following a slump in form, Taylor roared back in style against England in 2009. Taylor produced an astonishing display of seam bowling to bowl England out for just 51. His 5/11 helped West Indies win by an innings and inflict revenge on England for their 2004 humiliation when England had bundled them out for 47.
Back problems continued to plague Taylor and he spent close to three years on the sidelines. In his first game for Jamaica following rehabilitation, Taylor took 3-33 in a bowling display of verve and purpose to help his team beat Ireland by six wickets.
Finally, the call came for Taylor's return to the national side in 2014. He was added to the squad for the home series against New Zealand. The fast bowler, since then, has not looked back as he has been the strike bowler for West Indies in both Tests and ODIs. Though, he does not have the wickets to show for it, Taylor has been bowling well and the selectors persevered with him when they announced the 15-man World Cup squad for Australia.
After picking just 2 wickets in 3 games during the 2015-16 season Down Under, Taylor announced his retirement from Test cricket weeks before India toured the Caribbean. He, however, made himself available for the shorter formats and was recalled into the national side for the England tour in September 2017. He also featured in the T20Is in New Zealand in early 2018, a three-match series that hosts New Zealand won 2-0.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Jerome Taylor was just 18 years old, with a handful of matches for Jamaica under his belt, when he was called into the West Indies squad for the final match of their series against Sri Lanka in June 2003. There was never any doubt about the fast bowler's talent. Taylor is a natural in getting the ball to move away and, when at his best, he drew comparisons with West Indies legend Michael Holding. Injuries, however, had a knack of dragging him down.
In a five-year stretch between November 2009 and June 2014, Taylor was able to play only five T20Is and four ODIs, and had his commitment questioned by the WICB. Just before that tough period, he had spearheaded one of West Indies' greatest Test wins, at his home ground in Kingston, by ripping through England with a match haul of 8 for 85. He eventually regained his place in the team for a tour of India in 2014 - which the players abandoned due to a payment dispute with their cricket board - and has been a regular fixture in Tests and ODIs since then.
Taylor's rise to international cricket was rapid. He was named the most promising fast bowler in the 2003 Carib Beer Series, after picking up 21 wickets at 20.14 in six first-class matches. That haul included a second-innings 8 for 59 in Jamaica's five-wicket victory over Trinidad & Tobago, a match in which he took ten wickets for the first time. But a back injury sidelined him from competitive cricket.
He picked up 26 wickets at 16.61 in the Carib Beer Cup in the 2004-05 season, and in the next, he grabbed 12 wickets at 29 to force his way back into the West Indies team. When India toured the West Indies in mid-2006, they ran into an energised Taylor at his best. Quick and accurate, Taylor turned into West Indies' spearhead as the series progressed. His pacy burst on the lifeless surface in St Kitts won many admirers, but it was his lethal performance in Kingston that underlined his worth. Getting the ball to lift off a good length, he thrilled his home crowd with his maiden five-wicket haul in Tests.
He picked up 26 wickets at 27.69 in the 2006-07 season and bagged his then career-best figures in ODIs - 4 for 49, including a hat-trick, when he bowled West Indies to a thrilling win against Australia in the Champions Trophy. He bettered that a year later when he snared 5 for 48 against Zimbabwe, and in 2008 was West Indies' leading bowler in the Test series against Sri Lanka, with 11 wickets in two matches at 24.81. That helped him bag the Jamaica Cricketer-of-the-Year award for 2008. That year he also blitzed a Test century at just under a run a ball, from No. 8, against New Zealand.
Form on his comeback after back injury in 2014 fuelled his 2015 World Cup dream, where he was West Indies' highest wicket-taker with 17 scalps in seven matches. He was also part of West Indies' World T20 winning squad in 2016. But an unsuccessful run in the longest format in Australia in December 2015-January 2016, when he picked up two wickets in three Tests, resulted in him calling time on his Test career in July 2016.
