David Taylor (born 2 May 1881, date of death unknown) was an Australian cricketer. [1] He played one first-class match for New South Wales in 1907/08. [2]
Locally, Taylor played for Glebe District Club. [3] His first-class opportunity came in Brisbane against Queensland, playing as a wicket-keeper in Charles Gorry's absence. [4] Taylor did not "set the world a-fire" in the match, according to "Recorder", a columnist in the Sydney Sportsman, but they believed "his time would come". [5]
Reviewers described Taylor as a "hard-hitting batsman" [3] and compared him to preceding New South Wales cricketers Hugh Massie and Charles Bannerman. [4]
