Latham spoke about the decision to give Taylor the ball to close the series and the importance of this test for Taylor and the team after the game."I haven't felt that pressure from the crowd and the boys to bowl (Taylor) as well. The umpires played their part as well. It was actually very dark out there (laughing). I said we can't bowl seamers and that left one decision to bowl Ross and the way it worked out couldn't be scripted any better. Everyone wanted me to take that catch, to grab it and sign off the test by giving Ross another wicket under his belt, It was pretty special," said Latham after the second Test concluded."It is a massive test for Ross as it was his final one. The servant he has been to New Zealand Cricket over these years has been absolutely amazing and we are looking forward to celebrating with him and his family tonight," he added.Taylor scored 28 runs in New Zealand's first innings of the test and bowled three balls in the final over, conceding zero runs and taking one wicket.
