Black Caps legend Luteru Ross Poutoa Lote Taylor retires

From First Up, 5:51 am on 4 April 2022

For the past 16 years, fans of New Zealand cricket could feel safe in the knowledge that as long as Ross Taylor was still at the crease we were in with a shot. He's scored more runs for New Zealand than anyone else in our cricketing history and has forever secured his place among our greatest ever players. Today is our last chance to see Luteru Ross Poutoa Lote Taylor in action when he plays his 450th and final game for New Zealand in his hometown of Hamilton against the Netherlands. He kindly agreed to have chat with Nathan Rarere ahead of the big day and he started by asking if there was a particular moment in his life when he knew he'd made it as a cricketer.
