An assuring opener, a classical batsman, a dependable slip fielder and a successful captain, Mark Taylor remains one of Australian cricket's brightest jewels. Having scored 7525 runs across a 104 Test career and pouched a then world record 157 catches, there never was a need for him to bowl to prove his credentials as an all-rounder.

Though he did roll his arm over twice in his career. In the second Test at Rawalpindi versus Pakistan in 1994, he invited Pakistan to follow on in the second innings only to see his team stay on the park for another 152 overs.

In a desperate attempt to pick wickets, Taylor, who was leading Australia, used every member of his team to affect a dismissal before finally taking the ball. The only player who did not bowl in that innings was wicketkeeper Ian Healy.

His right arm medium pace bowling did prove effective as he managed to get Rashid Latif caught by Michael Bevan.
