Ajinkya Rahane is the Man of the Match

Smith: I think the boys are playing some cricket. Got a bit tight in the end, but it's good to go over the line once again. The Indian contingent is exciting. The pitch played pretty similar throughout the game. It would have been nice to have got these runs a little earlier though.

Warner: Great game, the boys dug in deep there. It was great, it was nail-biting in the end there, but they played well. We were a bit below par there. We thought it was a 150-160 wicket. Well, if a few decisions had gone our way, it could have been different. Definitely, it's great to see these guys come out and turn up here. We hope to see them (crowd) in the next game as well
