Playing his 450th and final game of cricket for New Zealand, Ross Taylor got a well-deserved guard of honor while playing the third one-day international against the Netherlands on Monday.

Taylor made his international debut back in March 2006 and announced his retirement plans at the end of last year.

The crowd, which grew during the afternoon, stood as one to applaud Taylor’s entrance as Guptill waited and bumped gloves with his teammate at the boundary who had just scored a splendid century.

Here is how it went down:

In his final innings, Taylor only managed 14 runs but received an overwhelming response as he made his way back to the pavilion.

Netherland's van Beek claimed Taylor's wicket as he caught him off his own bowling in the 43rd over of the first innings.
