The great Ross Taylor handshake saga of 2015 can finally be put to bed.
Taylor has tweeted an image of himself shaking hands with Australian coach Darren Lehmann following yesterday's draw at the Waca.
A day earlier, the Australia side produced ''horrendous sportsmanship" according to former international and radio commentator Dirk Nannes, after failing to properly acknowledge Taylor's innings when he was out just before lunch on day four for 290.
"That's just horrendous sportsmanship... not one person from the Australian camp went and shook his hand... it's not that hard."
The Australian players ran to celebrate the catch taken by a reserve fielder to dismiss Taylor and would have had to make some ground to get to Taylor before he made the pavilion.
The New Zealand side then produced a guard of honour for retiring Aussie quick Mitchell Johnson when he made it out on to the ground for his final test innings yesterday. Johnson made 29 with the bat before capturing the wickets of Tom Latham and Martin Guptill as the match closed with New Zealand on 102 for two.
Taylor also tweeted a photo with Johnson, who finished his career with 313 wickets.
