AB de Villiers is also the Man of the Match
AB de Villiers: Feels pretty good, one of those funny kind of wicket. I never felt I was in throughout the innings. We should have bowled well in the powerplay, we should have bowled them out. New Zealand are a good defending side. Even though they didn't get a great score they ran us close. Overall, happy with the show. We've played pretty good cricket and it's very pleasing. The net facilities and the food we've had, the vibe is great here.
McCullum: I think the game was pretty close, probably the scoreboard doesn't reflect that. Unfortunately, the class of AB and JP took them home. We were a little bit uncertain about the conditions as well, but we've got some good information for Friday. They got wickets at regular intervals and put pressure on us. Boult was brilliant today and Luke Ronchi batted exceedingly well. The practice wickets are pretty similar to the one in the middle, so we'll work hard. |
