Kumble: “We missed a few chances in the field that cost us the game. Duminy, though, batted brilliantly. Some players are probably not used to the lights and the ball came on a little quicker. The ball came on to the bat and I thought 180 was sufficient. There was the option of bowling Kallis in the last over, but I thought the slower ball would prove more effective. Unfortunately, Vinay [who has a good slower ball] tried a different delivery. It’s a great start to the tournament, unfortunately we ended on the losing side.”

Puttick: “We were confident we could chase any score, but it was a little more than we expected. We were a little shaky playing in this tournament. But JP played superbly. We knew if we got one batsman to bat through the innings and build partnerships, keep their calm, we could chase this down. We didn’t catch very well but it’s down more to nerves. This win should calm us down. We are a laid-back bunch of guys, and I suppose it’s up to me as captain to calm them down. We’re just going to enjoy the experience and do our best.”

Duminy is the Man of the Match: “By far the best I’ve played in this format. It just worked out in the end for us. It’s a different team with a different management, it went well. The wicket was a little spungy, took some time to settle in and played their spinners well.”

Brendon McCullum: “Tonight was disappointing, we had big expectations. But we’ve come together as a group in this tournament. Vettori’s absence was a big blow, we were about 50 short today. Anything around the 230-240 region, we would have had a chance. Kyle Mills and Shane Bond were brilliant, but unfortunately we didn’t provide them enough runs. Sri Lanka was an important win, but it was the performance against Pakistan that got us through to the final. Australia were brilliant today and they are deserved winners of the trophy.”

Shane Watson, unsurprisingly is the Man of the Match: “We needed discipline today, and we knew that if I was around till the 40th over, we had a chance. It was set up with Ricky’s help in the semi-finals to get me through, and he missed out today, but it was time for another to step up. The wicket today was a little slower than the other night, they bowled beautifully straight up until me and White had a good partnership.”

The leading run-scorer in the tournament gets a golden bat, and it’s Ricky Ponting who wins it, 288 runs in four games at 72.

The highest wicket-taker gets a golden ball, and it’s Wayne Parnell who’s the winner there; he’s not there to accept the award.

Ricky Ponting gets the Man-of-the-Series Award.

Ponting: “We’ve played some great cricket over the last couple of weeks, and we’ve been through our ups and downs over the last 18 months. We’ve been bringing some young players into the side. Two young sides at the crease at 6 for 2, it doesn’t get any tougher and they did a great job. We pride ourselves on adapting to different conditions around the world. I felt really good since the break after the Ashes, things are going well [for me].”
