Chris Taylor (cricketer, born 1981)

Christopher Robert Taylor (born 21 February 1981, Leeds, Yorkshire, England) is an English former first-class cricketer.

Taylor was present at Yorkshire County Cricket Club for eight seasons, and, although his first-team playing time was limited, he saw plenty of action in the Second XI.

Taylor became the first Derbyshire cricketer in their history to score a century on his first-class and one day debuts for the club.

Despite an improved further two-year contract, Taylor asked to be released from Derbyshire at the end of the 2007 season, leaving the club with immediate effect.

He finished his career with five first-class centuries to his name, a County Championship winners medal, and scoring twenty five Second XI hundreds.
