Ross Taylor won 14 for New Zealand against the Netherlands in its third day-long international match on Monday, coming and leaving it with standing ovation.

The match was Taylor’s 450th match and his last for New Zealand before he retired at the end of a 16-year international career. The 38-year-old played his last test match against South Africa this year but decided to play this match at home at Seddon Park as his last.

His children, MacKenzie, Jonty and Adelaide, stood by him during the national anthems and he underwent an honor guard set up by Dutch players.

Taylor played his first one-day international for New Zealand in 2006 and his first Test the following year. He went on to play 112 Tests, scoring 7,683 runs, covering 19 centuries, and 236 internationals in one day, of which he made 8,593 runs.

He also scored 1,909 runs in 102 Twenty20 internationals.

Taylor had to wait a long time for her final round. New Zealand hit the first stroke after winning the throw and a 203-run partnership for the second match between Martin Guptill and Will Young delayed his appearance until the 39th finish. .

Guptill made 106 and Young went on 120 as New Zealand made 333-8. Matt Henry then led 4-3 as New Zealand beat the Netherlands 218 to win the match by 115 runs and wipe out a three-match series.

As soon as he appeared, the crowd rose to their feet. Taylor hit one in six of his 14 runs before hitting the wrong ball from Logan van Beek and delivering a simple return shot to the pitcher.

He turned towards the dressing room one last time with a faint smile on his lips. Opposing players lined up on either side as he walked slowly from the pitch, noting the long standing ovation from the crowd.

Taylor has long been a fan favorite for his steadfastness, dependability, and ready smile.

“For me, it’s just a player who tries to fight in as many situations as possible, gives his all, plays with a smile on his face and hopes to represent my country proudly and with a lot of respect,” Taylor said Radio New Zealand.
