Veteran New Zealand cricket team batter Ross Taylor is currently playing the last Test match of his career. It is the second match of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship series between the New Zealand cricket team and the Bangladesh cricket team.
Before the series got underway, the veteran batter had clarified that this would be his last series for the New Zealand Test team and the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series between the New Zealand cricket team and the Netherlands cricket team will be his last ODI series in the Blackcaps jersey.
Ross Taylor has had a long and successful career for the New Zealand cricket team. Thus when he came out to play in the first innings of his last Test match for the New Zealand cricket team at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch, the Bangladesh cricket team gave him a guard of honour. Receiving a guard of honour is a very rare thing and not every legend has received it in their career’s last match.
Thus, soon after the second day of the second match of the ICC World Test Championship series between the New Zealand cricket team and the Bangladesh cricket team, Ross Taylor took to Instagram and wrote:
“Thank you @bangladeshtigers for the truly humbling moment walking to the crease today. Something I’ll never forget.”
New Zealand set platform for a big win in the last Test match of Ross Taylor
New Zealand suffered a shocking defeat against Bangladesh in their first match of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship series, but the reigning world champions have bounced back in style, scoring 521/6 in the first innings at the Hagley Oval. They have bowled out Bangladesh for 126 runs and are on the verge of an innings win. The chances of follow-on are very high.
