That is it from here. This is Thilak Ram (@Thilak_Rama) signing off on behalf of Ranjith P. Take care.

Ubaid: "So Rossco got his test wicket in his farewell test and here took the last catch. A true Kiwi Legend."

Brent Edwards: "That's international catch 351 for Ross Taylor."

Tom Latham: Yes obviously nice to see how the series finished. Its the partnership that built on top of the innings and today we talk about as a batting unit, they way we adjusted and to put up a score like that. And with the ball we did our best but we got the job done. The Dutch put us under a lot of pressure in last three games and that's the backbone of the side how you get out of the pressure and thought we did it really well and in different situations. We take positives from three games and we play One day cricket in few months time.

Peter Seelaar: How do I sum it up? Obviously it was disappointing but especially in the game today New Zealand turned up probably, the partnership between Guptill and Young was pure class and they hardly gave up any chance. That's what the best cricketers in the world do. It was high level of cricket we play generally, we have to adapt little bit quicker I suppose, how long we would stay in the game. Probably we need to be little more gutsy in that way. Stephan Myburgh, vintage, we have seen him over the years, he can smack the ball all round, it was entertaining to see him bat.

Will Young: Player of the match and the player of the series - Thankfully we got of to a decent start, guys came in at the end finished it off nicely. Guptill played really really well, got couple of boundaries when I was struggling and vice-versa which clearly helps. They bowled really nicely, it was tricky there and it was nice to get score over 300 batting first. When Ross came out i wanted to keep playing freely and get pressure off him

It's all over, New Zealand beat the Netherlands by 115 runs. The chase started with a bang and slowed down as it progressed. Except Stephan Myburgh and van Beek at the end no one really tried to up the ante. Henry was the pick of the bowlers, bagged 4 after an expensive first spell. Crowd wanted to see Rosco to bowl the last over but Latham has some other plans.
