The tension and nervousness caused during New Zealand`s run chase on the final day of the Word Test Championship title clash against India forced their star pacer Kyle Jamieson to hide inside the bathroom. Jamieson, who was the Man of the Match for his seven wickets in the final, felt nervous while watching the action from the dressing room. "It was probably the toughest period of cricket I`ve been a part of, in terms of watching," Jamieson told Country Sport Breakfast on Gold AM. "We were sitting inside and actually watching on TV. There was a bit of a delay but it seemed like every ball the Indian crowd was up and about and I was like `jeez it`s a wicket` or something like that, but it turned out it was just a block or a single."
Eventually, captain Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor got the team home rather comfortably while chasing 139 for a win. "It was pretty tough to watch. I actually tried to at times to go to the bathroom where there was no noise to just get away from it for a while because it was quite nerve-racking. "But it was nice to have Kane and Ross out there, two of our greatest ever batters really to calm the nerves and finish the job the way they did," said the lanky pacer.
