QUOTES from the presentation ceremony:

Brendon McCullum after series win:
This is the best series we've won. The manner in which we've sealed it is fantastic. Guys have worked really hard and are looking forward to Test series. Henry came in and bowled outstandingly well. We saw Hamish Bennett, Corey Anderson do well and some old hands in Ross Taylor do well. The Ross Taylor-Williamson partnership has allowed us to set totals we've wanted to. It's credit to Ross' hardwork that he puts in. Kane has gone from strength to strength for his age.

Dhoni after 4-0 series loss:
I think throughout this series, NZ played very good cricket. Their new-ball bowling has been fantastic. They have taken games away from us in the middle-overs batting. They've done it in each and every game. For us it is important to improvise and adapt quickly. We are lacking in some areas. We don't need to worry about talent but need to back ourselves. It will be an interesting Test series. It will be a big test of characters for us. Good challenge for the batsmen.

Man of the Match Ross Taylor:
"Its been a great series all-round, very consistent bowling and batting. The way Kane Williamson has played is brilliant, five fifties in a row is not easy. He's been outstanding. 300 on that wicket was going to be competitive and we bowled well. The way Henry's come in and bowled well is great. Four wickets on debut is no mean feat. The Test series will be a different ball game."

Kane Williamson set the New Zealand record for most runs in a bilateral series, his 361 being 18 more than Taylor's, who became only the second New Zealander to have scored 10 ODI centuries.
