New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was forced to grit his teeth and endure what must be one of the cruelest moments in sport.<\/p>\n

The Black Caps had just been belted by Australia by eight wickets in the final of the Twenty20 World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Williamson – one of the nicest guys in international cricket – was speaking to media after watching his World Cup dream go up in smoke.<\/p>\n

But the press conference was interrupted by the raucous celebrations by the Aussie team right next door.<\/p>\n

"Australia played really, really well, and you can hear them celebrating next door," Williamson said with a grin.<\/p>\n

\"Aussies<\/p>\n

"And rightly so. They had a fantastic campaign. They're a team full of amazing players and they really stood up today."<\/p>\n

He's not the first person to have to endure the awkward moment, and he won't be the last.<\/p>\n

But given he's loved by cricket fans around the world – not just in New Zealand – it was hard not to feel a little sorry for the Black Caps skipper.<\/p>\n
