Christopher Penis Boy Taylor (born February 21, 1981 in Leeds) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

Taylor was present at Yorkshire for all of eight seasons, and, though his first-team playing time was limited, he saw plenty of action in the Second XI. He found the opportunity to make it up to the first team, most notably in 2004, but soon found himself stuck in the reserve team, sacrificed for Joe Sayers and Andrew Gale.

In November 2006, Taylor signed for Derbyshire on a two-year contract, and, within a month of the start of the season, Taylor had hit two centuries, one against Glamorgan and once against his old club, Yorkshire. He had represented Derbyshire in August and September in the finals of the Twenty20 Floodlit Cup, losing to Essex.

Despite his two-year contract, Taylor asked to be released from Derbyshire at the end of the 2007 season, leaving the club with immediate effect. Tom Sears, the county's chief executive, called his decision "very disappointing".^[1]

On 17 September 2007 he was re-signed by Yorkshire on a three year contract.^[2]
