Dhoni: "Completely outplayed. They got off to a very good start.. Ashish had a bad day, so the pressure was on the part-timers who did a very good job. But the chase - never really happened for us today. We depend on the start (with the bat) - anything over 250 is tough to chase in Kingsmead. The new guys have not got enough practice because of the rains. Hopefully they will acclimatise with time and we can make the series more interesting."
Man of the Match - Lonwabo Tsotsobe: "This is my favourite ground to bowl, I've always done my best here. I was a bit unlucky in the Tests, but did not give up. It's paying off now. I was told by Dale that there wasn't much swing, so I must hit my lengths, which I did. It was my day today" The most enjoyable wicket? "(smiles) Always, Sachin."
Smith: "Very complete performance. AB and JP's partnership was crucial after Hash's performance. We played street-smart in the end overs and got to a good solid score. I enjoyed being in the slips for Lopsy, if he keeps bowling like this he will be one of the best. WC will be in a different environment, but getting confidence and form here will be crucial."
