CHRISTCHURCH: Ross Taylor’s Test career had a fairytale finish as the New Zealand great in his last Test took the final wicket of the Bangladesh innings as the hosts romped home to an innings and 117-run victory at the Hagley Oval on Tuesday.
With the light fading, Taylor, who played in his 112th, was thrown the ball and on the third ball of the over, picked up the wicket of Ebadot Hossain for only his third Test wicket.
It was a fitting farewell for Taylor, who bowed out of red-ball cricket with a New Zealand record 7,683 runs to his name and 37th in the all-time list of the sport’s most prolific run-getters.
Taylor bowled the final over after 7 long years to get the last wicket of this innings to end his glorious 15 years long test career in style.
