MS Dhoni: “We were completely outplayed. Kallis and Amla played briilliantly. Dale Steyn the way he bowled .. he was the best I have seen in the last two years at least as far as conventional bowling goes. Seven of the 14 dismissals were out to great deliveries. we were outplayed. The ball was changed in tea break and we lost five quick wickets. It changed everything. Once we lost Sehwag, I got out immediately and the ball was reversing .. it was difficult for the tailenders. We are on the back foot; they cant’ lose the series now. So we are under the pressure but you always are. Last time when they came, they were ahead and in the same position.”

Smith: “It has been outstanding performance from the guys. To win here, you need lots of discipline and the guys have showed it. There were a few special individual performances like Amla, Kallis and Steyn but its a good team-effort. It was a emotional last two weeks what with all the changes going around. Its nice to have a some one like [Steyn]. To run in like that and bowl as he did. It all happenned so quickly even for us; it was great to watch. Harris .. he bowled well, he is not fancied cricketer you know but he knows his role and he has come back well ….”

Hashim Amla is Man of the Match “It was one of my best knocks. It was a crucial time I came into the crease and I got the team into a great position. Everybody feels a bit of pressure and I am just grateful that I got an opportunity to put the team in a good position. I have had a few good partnerships with Jacques; once we both got in we complimented each other .. when I wasn’t scoring he was and vice versa. With the ball turning, anything can happen with the new guy coming in, I just tried to keep it as risk-free as possible.yes, so I concentrated not on hitting anything in the air. I just hope Eden Gardens gets a good crowd. ”
