New Zealand captain Ross Taylor was left devastated with his team’s performance and urged the players to take more responsibility on their shoulders in future.

West Indies thrashing the Kiwis by five wickets to complete a whitewash in the two test match series.

“It’s been a disappointing tour all round, we have had our chances in this match, in several matches this tour. The batting needs to take a good hard look at ourselves. There are some positives, the bowlers bowled well on a tough wicket,” said Taylor.

“We needed to set them 270-300 on what was a fourth-day wicket. I think (our batsmen) shouldn’t be satisfied with 50-60s, we are a young team, We are getting better every now and then,” Taylor was quoted saying by bettor.com.

New Zealand’s next assignment is in India, which starts in August 23, with the first of the two-match Test series at Hyderabad.
