Surely the best ODI batsman from NZ? That fearsome assault against Pakistan in 2011 WC still makes me happy and he was absolutely awful during the first 100 balls of that knock.

These are TOUGH runs to score as he did it all in the middle order.
Excellent ODI player.
Had he performed better in ICC tourneys, he would have been hailed as an ATG.

Beastly stats and a total impact player. Without doubt an under rated player. One of the best to come from NZland.

The 181 against England and the 109 against India last week were GOAT knocks. Certainly two of the very best by a Kiwi batsmen (including a few from BMac). Also pertinent to note that Taylor has averaged 60+ in the last three years and only Kohli averages more than him during this time-period.

Refreshed Ross Taylor still eyeing 2023 World Cup as historic milestone nears
The Black Caps are back in action this week, after an eight-month break, and Ross Taylor is back on track to make history.
When the Covid-19 pandemic brought last summer to a premature end, the veteran batsman was five matches short of becoming the most-capped New Zealander in the history of the game.
Daniel Vettori holds the record as things stand, with 437 appearances across three formats – 112 in tests, 291 in one-day internationals, and 34 in Twenty20 internationals – but Taylor is set to catch and pass him before Christmas.
When the prospect was put to him as the Black Caps gathered in Auckland ahead of Friday’s opening T20 against the West Indies at Eden Park, he jokingly clutched his hamstrings, as if to say: ‘Don’t jinx it’.
At 36, turning 37 in March, and with 433 matches in his legs – 101 tests, 232 ODIs, and 100 T20s –Taylor is a lot closer to the end of his career than the start of it – an ODI against the West Indies in Napier way back in March 2006.
Thinking back to then, Taylor said on Tuesday that he never thought he’d end up here.
“I was really happy to play one or two games for New Zealand,” he added.
“I've still got to get there first, but my mentor, Martin Crowe, always used to say records are meant to be broken for the next guy to come beat.
“Whatever number of games I end up on, hopefully Kane [Williamson, currently on 291 caps] and whoever comes through can beat that and keep setting the bar higher.”
Taylor being on the verge of becoming the country’s most-capped cricketer is a reminder that it’s not going to be long before he’s not around at all.
Covid-19 meant Taylor was at home with his family from mid-March to late in July, when he left to play in the Caribbean Premier League, but while he enjoyed the rare break from the international cricket grind, he said he was glad to be back playing.
“When you're a parent, it's nice to have your kids around, but you've normally got a little bit of your mind on the game you're playing in a couple of days’ time.
“To have a complete break away from that and not have the excuse to that you've got a game in a couple of days time and to be present with my family was something I'll never forget, but at the same time, you're only a cricketer for a certain period of time, and I'm not getting any younger, so I've got to make the most of every opportunity I can.”
Taylor took time during the break between Black Caps fixtures – the team’s longest in almost 30 years – to think about what lies ahead and came away still targeting the next one-day World Cup, in India in 2023, for his swansong, even though he knows that will be a challenge.
"2023 was going to be a stretch, I think, at the best of times, when it was February and March and now the World Cup has been dragged out to October and November '23, it's another six or seven months to hang around,” he said.
“You've got to have short-term goals and long-term goals and the one-day World Cup is definitely on the radar.
“I might have to trim things back leading into that – as I said, I'm not getting any younger.
“It doesn't mean I will make it, but, it’s definitely one of my goals.”

BLACKCAP and Central Stags legend Ross Taylor has chalked up his 300th List A appearance at Eden Park Outer Oval today, becoming one of just an elite handful of New Zealand cricketers to have played 300 List A one-day matches in a career.
Taylor will be looking to break his Outer Oval hoodoo as the Central Stags attempt to chase down 311/9 after hosts the Aces elected to bat first this morning in warm and sunny conditions. The Aces once again got off to a flier, Cole Briggs - fresh off his maiden century on debut against the same opponents on Friday - stumped on 99 after having put on a 106-run stand with Sean Solia for the first wicket. Briggs had just been dropped by George Worker on 98* and narrowly missed out on the rare feat of scoring centuries in his first two List A innings.
Andy Morrison makes his debut for the Aces today behind the stumps after regular wicketkeeper-batsman Ben Horne was stood down whilst awaiting a COVID-19 test result as per standard protocols; while Central Stags paceman Blair Tickner bowled just one over in the morning before re-splitting the webbing in his finger and taking no further part on the innings.

Ross Taylor suffers grade one calf strain
The Black Caps veteran has suffered a grade one strain in his left calf but still looks set to take part in New Zealand’s tour of England.
Taylor suffered the injury on day one of New Zealand’s training camp in Lincoln, with an MRI confirming the prognosis.
The 37-year-old will remain with the group as he rehabilitates the injury with the aim of returning to batting and running next week, before flying to England.
The Black Caps’ greatest ever Test run-scorer, with 7379 at an average of 45.83, Taylor shapes as a key man for New Zealand in England.
Kane Williamson’s team is pencilled in to play two Tests against England, starting 2 June and 10 June respectively, before facing India in the ICC World Test Championship Final in Southampton, commencing 18 June.
New Zealand are currently in the first of two three-day training camps.

Rock-solid resistance and ruthless batting prowess - Ross Taylor showcased it both during his 16-year-long international career, which featured astonishing achievements and countless memories to cherish.
Playing his final and 450th international match against Netherlands in his hometown Hamilton, an emotional Ross Taylor could not hold back the tears as he entered the arena in New Zealand colours for one last time.
Taylor walked in to bat when New Zealand were cruising along at 215-2 and scored 14 off 16 balls in his final appearance, getting out caught and bowled to Logan van Beek in an attempt to push the scoring-rate further. New Zealand eventually finished at 333/8, a score that helped them secure a 115-run win to complete a 3-0 series whitewash.
Taylor, 38, walked back to a rousing reception at the Seddon Park.
From winning the inaugural ICC World Test Championship to scoring the highest score by a New Zealand batter in Australia, Taylor was a part of several glorious moments for New Zealand and retired as the country’s most prolific run-getter across formats – 18,199 runs at a highly impressive average of 42.72.
Taylor played 112 Tests, 236 ODIs, and 102 T20Is making him the only record holder of a unique achievement of being the only cricketer to make 100 appearances in each of the three international formats.
Here are the top five moments of his career where he made headlines for his awe-inspiring batting performances that won the Blackcaps great laurels over the years.
A dependable force in the New Zealand camp, Taylor’s search for an ICC title for his country ended when they defeated India in the ICC World Test Championship Final in Southampton in June 2021. Taylor remained unbeaten at 47 in a run-chase of 139, completing the task with a trademark flick in the final session of the Test.
Career-best 290 against Australia
Taylor’s finest performance in Tests came against Australia in 2015 at the WACA, Perth, when he smashed the highest score by a New Zealand player Down Under – 290 in 374 balls. The memorable innings, which spanned over nine hours featured 43 fours and helped the Black Caps save the Test after Australia scored a towering 559/9d in the first innings.
Match-winning 181* versus England
Taylor’s ODI best of 181* came during a challenging run-chase of 336 against a formidable England side in Dunedin in 2018. New Zealand stumbled at the beginning, with openers Martin Guptill and Colin Munro both registering ducks.
But Taylor’s determination on the day ensured New Zealand scampered home safely with three balls to spare. His brisk knock was laced with 17 fours and six sixes.
Fighting fifty in semi-final against India
With the ICC ODI World Cup 2019 Final on the line, New Zealand’s talismanic Taylor rose to the occasion once again, starring with a match-defining 74 off 90 deliveries in the first semi-final against India at Old Trafford, Manchester.
Taylor’s exploits with the bat helped his side set a competitive total of 239, before New Zealand’s bowling restricted India to 221 to romp into their second straight World Cup final.
A blistering World Cup century against Pakistan
On his 27th birthday, Taylor smashed an unbeaten 131 against Pakistan in the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2011 Group fixture in Pallekele. A Player of the Match worthy performance, Taylor unleashed carnage to help New Zealand add 92 runs in the final five overs to take their total to 302/7, laying the foundation of a comprehensive 110-run win.
An innings best remembered for his fiery assault on Shoaib Akhtar was another reminder of his skills as a supreme all-round batter.

Really good all format player.
His hot streak a few years back had him one of the top bats in the game for a while.
The bedrock of NZ cricket's most succesful era. Good adaptable style to be the rock for flamboyant partners when needed or take over acceleration himself.
I think he had Maori heritage (or Samoan?) so a good representative for a segment of the NZ Polynesian community who don't have as many cricket heroes to aim for.

Am happy for his retirement, horrible player to watch.
Also, he is a bit over rated; dude has an average of 258 against Zimbabwe am sure he’s very proud of that and his runner-up performance in the WC final, fair play.

I think he is neither overrated nor underrated.
He has had some good knocks but also wasn't an elite-tier batsman. He was just a very good batsman.
