Quotes

Luke Ronchi and Grant Elliott (Men of the match): It was fun to bat with him (Ronchi) in the middle. It was good for both of us to help gain the confidence. Ronchi doesn't get a lot of time at the end so it was nice for him to come in early and show how destructive he can be.

Brendon McCullum: It was a good bowling performance overall. Incredible batting performance from Luke and Elliott. Amazing how they got us to 360-odd. Thought it was a great wicket, fast outfield, and a great crowd which the boys thoroughly enjoyed

Lahiru Thirimanne: It was a tough day for us, we had them 90 for 5 and could have easily wrapped them under 200 but we didn't execute our plans. We expected track to assist spinner but that didn't happen and hence I bowled few odd overs. The ball didn't turn so that was a mistake for us. Dilshan played really well for us. He has been scoring runs for us since the first match.
