Bruce Richard Taylor (born 12 July 1943 in Timaru) scored 105 and took 5-86 for New Zealand on Test debut against India at Calcutta in 1964-65, the only man to have completed this feat. Taylor, who had never scored a first-class century before, came in at No. 8 and slammed 105 in 158 minutes with 14 fours and three sixes and helped Bert Sutcliffe (151 not out) add 163 for the seventh wicket. He also scored New Zealand's fastest Test century in 1969, his record was broken by Daniel Vettori in 2005.
Since finishing as an active player he has served as a selector for the Wellington, Otago and National Teams.
In early 1993 he resigned his job as bursar from John McGlashan College in Dunedin following allegations of financial irregularities.
