The New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor believes he's matured as a player and he hopes to continue showing that in the rest of the Chappell-Hadlee one day series against Australia.

The number 4 batsman anchored the Black Caps innings in their opening win, scoring 64 off 97 balls.

Taylor says rather than changing his batting style he's just managing it a lot better.

The second match of the series is in Melbourne on Friday.
