Watch: England wicket-keeper Sarah Taylor gets ignored despite performing brilliant stumping
Taylor, 28, played a pivotal role for England as a wicket-keeper and also a batswoman. In the final against India, which England won by nine runs, she contributed with crucial 45 runs.
New Delhi: Sarah Taylor is not your ordinary wicket-keeper. She is one of the most followed woman cricketers around, and was a star in England's World Cup winning campaign early this year.
But during a Kia Super League match between Lancashire and Surrey, she was made to look like a fool while going for a celebration. In the match, Taylor dismissed Laura Marsh with a brilliant stumping off the bowling of Kate Cross, but the bowler completely ignored the wicket-keeper in celebration.
Here's the video:
The video in fact became viral, but there was no succor for Taylor. She, however, got an apology tweet from Cross, but by then it was too late. In her response, Taylor wrote that she is "Getting used to it now".
