10 Things you need to know about Ross Taylor
Taylor broke the 112-year-old record, on Monday, after scoring the highest-ever score by a New Zealand batsman overseas as New Zealand posted a 65-run lead on the fourth day.
Nannes, who donned the hat of a cricket commentator during the game, said that not one person from the Australian camp went and shook Taylor's hand after his record-breaking innings.
On the contrary, New Zealand rushed up to shake Australian opener David Warner's hand after he was dismissed for 253 in the first innings.
