"After the innings - he's made 290 - not one person from the Australian camp went and shook his hand. In the spirit of the way this game has been played...I can't help but be disappointed that no one actually went out to him and shook his hand.
"It's not that hard, is it?''
A fellow commentator suggested it was probably more of "a lapse" from the Australian side, rather than anything malicious.
But Nannes wasn't having it - saying it was a simple gesture that tended to go unrecognised by the Australian side.
"This Australian team - we're pretty good at lapsing,'' he said.
"It's like when you've got a kid. You teach them to say thank you when they go for a sleepover - you teach them to say thank you for the meal. Pleases and thank yous. That's the sort of thing that happens on a cricket field.
"Yes - you say it's a lapse. But we see it more and more often - and it's not a good look.''
Australian players seemed confused as they left the field, given the timing of Taylor's dismissal whether lunch would be taken.
Add in that Taylor turned and headed back to the pavilion some way from where the Australian players had gathered to congratulate substitute fielder Jon Wells, who caught Taylor.
Australian century maker Adam Voges defended the allegations.
''To a man we all clapped every milestone he made, and I shook his hand at end of play," Voges said.
''I think the game has been played in wonderful spirit so far. We all clapped. It was an amazing innings."
He wasn't concerned about Nannes' criticism.
''I thought the innings he played was outstanding. He pounced on any width that we gave him throughout the whole innings and I think he just grew into his innings wonderfully well . . . he didn't really give us a sniff."
As for Taylor, whose 290 is the third highest test score by a New Zealander, and the best in Australia by a visiting batsman, he was relaxed about it and wasn't pointing any fingers.
''When I get out I just walk off the ground as quick as I can, I don't want to stay out there any longer than I have to," he said.
''I'm sure it was a coincidence more than anything.
''I got out on the far side of the boundary and they were all congratulating him (the fielder) and I was walking off as fast I could to hopefully come and get a catch (in the over before lunch)."
New Zealand have made a habit of rushing to shake hands with Australian century makers, which has irked Australian commentators and some writers, who see it as an over the top, too nice reaction.
They don't expect the opposition to follow suit, and they certainly didn't - at least publicly - yesterday.
