Ross Taylor
Ross Taylor was appointed Vettori's successor and Vettori said he was impressed with Taylor's captaincy during the Test. "Ross understands my game and how to use me. I've enjoyed stepping back and just helping him out rather than having to be the driving force in most situations. He did things that I wouldn't have done and they really worked well - the Guptill wicket [part-time offspinner Martin Guptill dismissed Tino Mawoyo on the fifth day] I thought was fantastic."
