Emotional Ross Taylor bids farewell

9 April, 2022

An emotional Ross Taylor was given a standing ovation in his final match for New Zealand in Hamilton.

The batter made his last Black Caps appearance in their 115-run one-day international win over the Netherlands.

Joined by his three children, he was in tears during the national anthem and received a guard of honour from the Dutch players when he came to bat.

The 38-year-old was out for 14, but claimed the match-winning catch to dismiss the Netherlands’ Aryan Dutt.

Taylor, who took the match-winning wicket in his final Test in January, ends his 16-year international career with 7,683 runs in the longest format and 8,607 in ODIs - both New Zealand records. (BBC Sport)
