Ross Taylor's Blackcaps teammates are still coming to terms with the fact they'll no longer share the dressing room with arguably New Zealand's greatest cricketing batter.
Taylor, 38, has played his final one-day international - and last game for New Zealand in any format - as the Blackcaps defeated the Netherlands by 115 runs to end the home summer with a 3-0 series sweep.
Taylor hangs up his boots with exactly 450 games for his country across all three formats, with 112 tests, 236 ODIs and 102 T20 Internationals. Taylor was also the first player to play 100 games in each format.
Taylor is currently New Zealand's leading runscorer in both test cricket (7683) and one-day internationals (8607).
And for good measure, he had the final say in Monday's win, taking the last catch to complete the Blackcaps victory.
Martin Guptill - who's played most of his 351 internationals alongside Taylor - paid tribute to his longtime teammate, now facing the reality of carrying on without him.
"Obviously, we'll take the result, but we're losing an absolute legend of the New Zealand game here tonight," Guptill said. "[I'm] pretty emotional to be honest.
"It hasn't really sunk in yet, but I'm sure, over the next hour or so, it's going to start hitting pretty hard.
"I think I'm being made to do a wee farewell speech to him and a little presentation. That's going to be a tough one to get through.
"He's been an absolute stalwart of New Zealand cricket for many, many years now.
"It's very sad to see him go, but such is life - people move on.
"Roscoe's going to, hopefully, be in and around at some point to come and say hi, and things like that. We certainly won't be losing touch with him, that's for sure."
The Hamilton encounter saw the Seddon Park crowd actually hoping for an NZ wicket to fall, so Taylor could come out to bat for the last time.
As part of a 205-run stand with Will Young, Guptill made spectators wait 205 balls, even prompting audible groans, when he survived a close leg-before-wicket shout.
Almost fittingly, Guptill's dismissal for 106 finally made way for Taylor's final knock, denying two of the Blackcaps' best a chance to bat together one last time.
"I was actually hoping to bat with him today," Guptill added. "It obviously wasn't to be.
"At the end of the day, we had a great partnership and Ross got one final dig out in the middle. Unfortunately, I missed a lot of his innings, because I was having an ice bath.
"As I said before, great career from Roscoe, absolutely proud of him. He's going to be sorely missed come the next series."
