With scores of 71, 77, 65, 60 and 88, Williamson tallied 361 runs in the series, surpassing by 10 runs Nathan Astle's record aggregate for New Zealand in a five-match series.
"It's been a great series all round," Taylor said. "The way we've batted and bowled has been very consistent.
"I think the way Kane Williamson has gone about his business and set the platform for the whole team has been outstanding. Five 50s in a row is not an easy feat and he deserves a lot of credit."
Henry was called into the New Zealand lineup on Friday as it continued to rotate its bowlers, exploiting its newly developed depth in that area. It now has Kyle Mills, Tim Southee, Mitchell McClenaghan, Hamish Bennett, Henry and the allrounders Corey Anderson and Jimmy Neesham to call on in limited-overs cricket, along with Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell and Neil Wagner in tests.
Henry's performance on Friday was so impressive he has a strong chance of being called into the New Zealand test squad if injuries occur during its forthcoming two-match series against India. He claimed the vital wickets of Shikhar Dhawan (9), Ajinkya Rahane (2) and Ambati Rayudu (20) as India crumbled to 30-3, then 78-4.
