SOUNDBITE (English) Brendon Taylor:

(assessing India's bowling in this tournament)

"I think it runs... the number of players I've spoken to, they've been very impressed. We all know how such a powerhouse they are at batting, but they certainly hold their own with the ball. They've had proven performances with their spinners, and we see how well they've done for India over the years, and even in conditions that are not so suited so them, they've still been very difficult to get away. Even the new ball bowlers have struck early, where they possibly haven't done that in the past, and they're bowling with some good pace, too. That's certainly good for Indian cricket, and it'll be very challenging for us tomorrow, not just the pace but the swing they're producing at the moment."

SOUNDBITE (English) Brendon Taylor:

(on joining Nottinghamshire)

"Tough question for me to answer because it hasn't been an easy decision to make. Just in terms of finding a competitive team to go and play for, yes, international cricket has always been the pinnacle for me, but it's something that I discussed with my family and my wife, and after two, three months of doing that, I decided to go and play in England. I think all players tend to try and maximise a little bit, and when you've got kids at home, you want to try and make sure they've got the best sort of upbringing that you can give them. That all sort of favoured the decision. It's a three-year decision. I don't think everything is lost after England, whether I continue to play on after those three years in England or come back to Zimbabwe. That's all too far ahead. But I just want to go there and try to better myself as a cricketer, and at the end of the day, we're all trying to provide for families, and to me that's very important."
