Still looking for that little bit of rhythm: Skipper Kane Williamson

ADELAIDE: As criticism of his lean run with the bat and lack of acceleration grows, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson admitted that he is still looking for 'little bit of rhythm' and is 'working on different things' to be back at his best.

In his three innings in Men's T20 World Cup, Williamson has made just 71 runs at an average of 23.66, and strike-rate of 93.42. At the Gabba against England in a Group 1 match, he scored run-a-ball 40 and also failed to get going against Australia and Sri Lanka too.

"I'm always working on different things, wanting to try and improve and keep getting better and try and keep playing the role as best I can. For me, it's still looking for that little bit of rhythm. There's a role there that's being played, but obviously wanting to do it as best as you can."

"It was frustrating the other night, we're getting close, getting ourselves into position and didn't quite throw that last punch. Definitely in T20 training, it's keep on exploring, keep trying to grow your game," said Williamson in the pre-match press conference.

Williamson, whose slow-go anchor approach hasn't resulted in a desired late acceleration yet, also expressed his wish to touch the top gears with the bat ahead of final Group 1 match against Ireland. IANS
