A Twitter user thanked Taylor for the wonderful memories of cricket.
Ross Taylor, thanks for the memories. My favorite move: that of Pallekele against Pakistan at WC 2011, in particular the withdrawal of Shoaib to death (after the epic reprieve of Kamran Akmal). And of course for RCB against KKR at Centurion in 2009. Great side swinging of the legs.
