We honestly did not think the win would come so easily after the way they batted and reached 155 for two after lunch on the first day. Then, one bad shot changed everything and allowed us to come back.
We were clearly underdogs before the series and people thought it was a two horse race (between Australia and South Africa) but here we are. We believe in ourselves and back ourselves and we played almost as well as we can today.
Our batting let us down but we need to come back and do better in the remaining matches. India are playing very well at the moment but we need to encourage each other to do better.
