News about Billy Taylor

Yorkshire were reported to have voiced their displeasure with the match officials after their LV=County Championship match against Gloucestershire at Bristol was called off without a ball bowled. After more heavy overnight rain dampened the outfield, umpires Billy Taylor and Paul Pollard made the rash decision during a ground inspection on landing on the third morning. In their view, it was sufficiently bad underfoot to dismiss any chance of play on Sunday, meaning both teams had five draw points apiece.
