BB McCullum: It's pretty amazing. They gave us a tough fight. Really proud the boys. That obviously set it up nicely for us, two set batsmen were at the crease. What a great innings from Elliott. He's played a match-winning innings in the semi-final and the partnership he had with Corey was amazing.
AB de Villiers: Amazing game of cricket, this is probably the most electric crowd I've ever heard in my life. I couldn't anything more from my boys. It's hurting that we are going out. That's probably the worst thing of all. The passion did make a big difference, I hope the people back home will be proud of us. I felt we had a good fielding as a team in the tournament. We had very good individual performances as well. To the teams in the final, all the best. |
