Another 50 runs would have been tough: Williamson

“It’s an outstanding performance. I sort of said it recently, but I don’t think the result reflected how competitive the match was. Perhaps another 50 more runs from the India’s perspective would have made it quite a balanced-looking match,” Williamson said.

Unlike the flat sub-continental tracks, the tracks for two Tests had an ideal balance between bat and ball.

“Both games were a really good balance in terms of the surface between bat and ball and runs were quite tough to come by. You had to have a little bit of fortune go your way and then try and put a bit of pressure on the bowlers first.”

The genial Black Caps skipper agreed that pace on both Wellington and Christchurch tracks was “more aligned to Australian conditions” than their own.

“Maybe, not so much the sideways movement which we saw throughout. But that made a sporting balance between bat and ball,” Williamson added.
