Ross Taylor returns to his field of dreams with late mentor's century mark beckoningANDREW CORNAGA/PHOTOSPORT After some false starts, Ross Taylor is back at the Basin Reserve for his 11th test, where he averages 55 with the bat. Ross Taylor was eight or nine when he strolled through the Basin Reserve's JR Reid Gate for the first time. When Taylor strolls out in either his black cap or helmet on Friday, against West Indies, it'll be his 11th test at the Basin. Two more tons would fulfil a task the man himself set Taylor before his death in March 2016. That was in Dunedin in March, which forced Taylor out of the last two tests against South Africa.
