WELLINGTON:
Kane Williamson probably doesn't believe in counting his blessings; he had to be dismissed thrice on first day of the second Test to be actually sent back to the pavilion but he wasn't a happy man still.
"It's nice to have a bit of luck going your way," he conceded. "But it's nice only if it is on a flat one. It didn't get easier here," he added.
The young Kiwi bat was caught off
Zaheer Khan's bowling (on 15) and then off
Ishant Sharma's (23); but both were off no-balls.
He could only add 24 more though. "It was one of those situations where you know that you probably have got a ball with your name on it. That's the nature of the surface. You never felt in," he said.
Williamson declared that it was lot trickier out there. "It sort of seamed around a bit and they got the ball to swing nicely. They bowled very well," he said.
He agreed that New Zealand could have bowled a bit better. "Ya, I think we missed our lengths a little bit. I think on a surface like that, with the total we had, there is a lot of pressure on our bowling to be disciplined enough to put the ball in the area for long enough."
