NZ vs Ban | Captain Tom Latham elated with Taylor’s last wicket

New Zealand captain for the Bangladesh Test series - Tom Latham was elated with Ross Taylor’s final wicket to sign off an incredible career.

Latham, who took the catch himself to dismiss Bangladesh’s last man Ebadot Hossain, said after the game that the moment could not have been scripted any better.


''I was getting pressure from the crowd and also the boys to bowl (Ross Taylor), but the umpires played their part as well. It was very dark out there. They said we couldn't bowl the seamers. I guess that left one decision... to bowl Ross. It couldn't be scripted any better,” said the captain after the Test match.

Ross Taylor speaking at the post match interview admitted himself that it has been an incredible ride and joked that he could have had a few more in case he bowled regularly in those conditions. Taylor stated that despite the match being emotional, those thoughts were put behind the curtains given the situation of the series. New Zealand were pushed back after losing the first Test match in the series and were threatened to give up their long standing undefeated home series streak.
