Ross Taylor

New Zealand's greatest ever batter and the country's all-time leading run-scorer in both Tests and ODIs, a complete batsman of exceptional quality and longevity.

Ross Taylor is New Zealand's greatest batsman and record run-scorer, a powerful middle-order right-hander who was equally effective in all formats. He scored over 18,000 international runs and is the only New Zealander to have played 100 Tests and 100 ODIs. His composed temperament and ability to play match-winning innings under pressure made him the backbone of New Zealand's batting for 17 years.
