Former England wicketkeeper Jack Russell used to paint when he wasnt playing cricket, while India captain MS Dhoni can often be found scooting along on a motorbike. For New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor, though, time away from the middle means one thing - the chance to get his caffeine fix.Ive definitely got a coffee problem, said the Black Caps star during his stint as an IPL pundit for Sky Sports. Away from cricket, if Im not in Nandos, Ill definitely be in a café.Im getting quite fussy about my coffee now, so I need a really strong one - Im into cortados at the minute but the trouble is I cant get by with just one, its usually three or four! Ross explains how he looks to accelerate towards the back-end of a one-day innings If Taylor has been swigging fancy beverages lately, hes been doing it on the South Coast of England, having signed a deal to play for Sussex until July.The 32-year-old, who has made scores of 12 and 22 in his two Championship innings for the Hove outfit to date, is relishing his role as a senior player.I have had several enjoyable seasons at the IPL but I have always dreamed about playing county cricket, said Taylor, who played T20 cricket for Durham in 2010. I haven’t been brave enough to go to the beach yet – it’s been pretty cold, to be fair – but I may have a dip when the family arrives in a few weeks. Ross Taylor My kids will be starting school soon so I thought that before I get too old and too slow Id better come and find a team and Sussex have been very welcoming.Ive had a pretty slow start but hopefully I can score some runs and pass on some knowledge.I have played in a fair few tournaments, at home as well as in the Caribbean and India, and have learnt lots along the way, so I enjoy trying to upskill not just young players but coaches as well.But which of Sussexs young guns have impressed Taylor most? Sussex pacer George Garton played for England at this years Under-19 World Cup (Left-arm seamer) George Garton has got a big future - he is pretty raw but he is fast and has an x-factor with the ball - while I like the look of (all-rounder) Ollie Robinson, too, he said.He had an outstanding time last season and while it will be tougher for him this year with people looking out for him a bit more, I expect him to go well again, with both bat and ball.Taylor will next be in action for New Zealand in August when the Kiwis embark on a two-Test tour of South Africa.Kane Williamson is now captaining the Black Caps following Brendon McCullums retirement from international cricket prior to the World Twenty20, a tournament in which Williamson steered his side to the semi-finals. Kane Williamson is third in the ICC Test batting rankings McCullums New Zealand earned plenty of admirers - and on-field success - due to their aggressive approach to the game, but Taylor insists the future is equally bright with Williamson at the helm, even if the new captain and the old one are vastly different characters.Brendon brought the team together - he stamped his authority with the bat and as captain and really gave us the belief to go out and express ourselves, said the batsman.He was right out there and changed the field every two balls because he got bored, while Kane is a lot calmer but Kane, who will have learnt a lot from Brendon, captained well at the World T20, so the world after McCullum looks pretty rosy. The depth is as good as it has been in a long time – we’ve got 15 or 20 players who can play for New Zealand on any given day, whereas in the past we may only have had seven or eight class players. Ross Taylor on New Zealand Williamson led by example long before he was appointed skipper, the 25-year-old averaging almost 62 with the bat in Test cricket in 2014 and a whopping 90.15 in 2015, notching nine tons in that time.He is a world-class player who has been up there with Virat Kohli and Joe Root over the last few years, added Taylor. We always knew he was a quality player but he has probably exceeded expectations a little bit.I love batting with him as we do tend to get runs together, him more so than me! We bat differently, hitting balls in different areas, and he makes my job easier when I come out to the middle as he can dig in or score quickly, depending on the situation.We have a good understanding - albeit that weve run each other out a few times!The IPL is live and exclusive in its entirety on Sky Sports.
