Please hang on for the quotes from the post-match ceremony.
Graeme Smith: "There were some good things and bad things. Jacques and I left too much to do for the middle order. We gave away too many with the bowling in the end. Suresh Raina played well. Jacques and myself couldn't get it away there. We left with too much to do in the latter half. We have some hard work and thinking to do. "
MS Dhoni: "Good start to the tournament. We just need to continue with this. We have not seen many sides score so many runs in the last five overs. Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina played really well. We just played two seamers. Praveen .. I just made him bowl one over. I am quite happy with the spinners. The wicket is slightly on the slower side and the spinners did the job."
Raina: "I enjoyed the knock. It was a good game for us. Like MS said its not easy to score 75 from the last 5 overs .. we had wickets in hand and we did well. Hopefully we will do well in the SUper Eights. Yuvraj batted really well. Dinesh Karthik rotated the strike well. AB, Jacques and Graeme batted well. Nehra is one of our best bowlers in the end overs."
That's it from us.Thanks for logging on.

low full toss swinging away from the off stump, AB had moved outside leg and in trying to carve it over the off-side he slips and falls! More comic drama here!

Nehra to Boucher, 3 runs
fullish around off, sliced over Yuvraj at cover. They turn for the third run and the throw comes to Nehra who somehow contrives to deflect it to his groin! And he is in pain. Ouch! He is down on the ground now.
