New Zealand captain Kane Williamson took his time to acknowledge the support he had from the crowd during the Boxing Day Test at the MCG despite losing the Test.
Williamson spoke to a set of supporters who came all the way from New Zealand to support their team.
“I know we are circled by authorities, and I hope you are all behaving. But the support around this Test match has truly been special and the guys hugely appreciate it. I imagine footballers feel a little bit like this, despite the result. But the passion has been truly inspiring. We want to thank you guys,” Kane Williamson said in his address to a section of the New Zealand fans at the MCG.
