Ross Taylor hits record score by visiting Test batsman in Australia

New Zealand's Ross Taylor struck the highest Test score by a visiting batsman in Australia as the runs continued to flow in the second Test.

Taylor, 31, the first Kiwi double centurion against Australia, reached 290 before he was the last man to fall.

His score surpassed that of England's Tip Foster, who scored 287 against Australia in Sydney in 1903.

Trent Boult woulddda stay with him !!

BUT  why was there a substitute on the Field to catch him  :-\ 
                 

a specialist fieldsman?

I hate substitute fielders ...was it a ploy

OR some ass had to take a pee ?  :-\

Taylor's 290 was also the fourth highest score by an overseas batsman anywhere in the world in the last 10 years. Chris Gayle tops the list, scoring 333 in Sri Lanka back in 2010. Sangakkara scored 319 in Bangladesh and Hashim Amla scored 311* in England.
