FORMER Australian cricket skipper Mark Taylor on Thursday brushed aside claims that any Australians had taken a bribe during his years at the helm of Australian cricket. Taylor, Test captain for three and a half year up to 1999, said he doubts that any Australian will be implicated in the King Commission. “I really don’t think it has (spread to Australians),” Taylor said. “I played right until January 1999 so it’s only been in the last 18 months I haven’t been around the side,” added Taylor who lost the one-day captaincy to Steve Waugh in 1997. “I didn’t see any evidence of it when I was playing. “We had the Shane Warne-Mark Waugh drama with information to bookies, I’m very hopeful, as far as I know, that’s as far as it went.”
