I know some will show disagreement with my opinion but to prove my point, I will show the facts that pretty much validates my point.
Nobody has a record as poor as Kane Williamson does away from home vs top sides among all the elite batters that have debuted in this millennium. The obvious names that comes to our mind to debut post 2000 includes the likes of Kumar Sangakkara, Graeme Smith, AB de Villiers, Alastair Cook, Virender Sehwag, Younis Khan, Hashim Amla, Kevin Pietersen, Michael Clarke, Steve Smith, Joe Root and Virat Kohli.
Now, post Younis's retirement, Pakistan have become a really weak team especially at home losing test series to Australia, England and recently worst of all Bangladesh. Windies have been awful at home and Sri Lanka actually have been better at home than Pakistan.
When we look at Williamson's record away from home vs Aus, Eng, Ind, SA, SL, it is pretty poor, averaging 32 with bat.

Now, some may show disagreement with me including SL and excluding Pakistan but even then when we look at his record vs top nations of this era such as Australia, England, India and South Africa, he is simply miles behind Smith, Root and Kohli. You couldn't even find his name actually in the first page.

Williamson as a test batter away from home has poor record than the likes of Pujara, Rahane, Azhar Ali, Angelo Mathews and Asad Shafiq.
In Test cricket while rating players, their record away from home plays such a key role and this is where Williamson, especially vs very good home sides, is miles behind the other world class batters that have debuted in this millennium.
