| Steve Smith (AUS): It is nice to get few more runs tonight. We pulled it back nicely in the last 20 overs. They(the bowlers) were tight in the end and restricted them to 300. It was a good score for us to chase. I won't forget this summer. I think Haddin was very positive when he came out and took pressure off me. Starc held his nerve to hit the winning runs. It is the Australian Day (January 26th) and I am looking forward to playing in front of my home crowd. | |
| Steve Smith is the Man of the Match | |
| Morgan (ENG): I think it was not a bad day in general. Ian Bell played a terrific role at the top and showed his class once again. Australia were brilliant at the death. They made good use of the reverse swing. The variations were also well used and that made it difficult for us. 300 was a par score, but 330-340 was a match-winning one. We will grow in confidence with every game |
