It was good to see Brad Taylor impressing with the bat over in the Caribbean for Hampshire today! Hampshire won a Super 50 thriller after being 15 for 5 and Brad scored a brilliant 69 towards that victory.

Brad, an offspinning all-rounder,  was a student at Eggar’s  between 2008 and 2013 and he is certainly fulfilling the enormous promise he showed for the school cricket team. He became the youngest player to appear for the Hampshire first XI since 1867, at the age of 16 years and 154 days. This was even before he had discovered the results of his GCSE exams from Eggar’s!
