PAUL Taylor's one-man show was unable to stop Banbury slipping to a 49-run defeat against Radlett in Division 1.

The former England left-arm seamer produced terrific figures of 7-18 to reduce Radlett to 149 all out, Felix Walker top-scoring with 44.

But then Banbury's top order caved in, with none of the top seven batsmen able to make double figures.

And although Taylor, batting at No 9, resumed his virtuoso display with 42, it couldn't save Banbury from crashing to 100 all out, with Shane Burger taking 5-16.
