CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (Reuters) - It was little wonder that New Zealand captain Kane Williamson would have liked to have had more test cricket this season after series victories over West Indies and England in the four red-ball matches they were able to host.

Two thumping victories over the Caribbean islanders and another innings triumph over England in Auckland were followed by a gutsy draw on Tuesday which secured them a first series win over the English in nearly two decades.
