It’s nice to be back at the bowling crease. Obviously, I missed the first three games with my finger injury, and it’s been nice to get back to the bowling crease. It gives our attack a bit more balance as well and probably takes the load off a few of our quicks. [Benefit for qualifying early] I don’t think it sort of changed. Our sole goal was to be in the top two, to give ourselves that extra chance, and to get down to the last game and still need to win that last game, just shows how tight the competition’s been this year. We are really proud of the effort that we were able to put in today. There was a bit of speculation about whether we were going to start on time with that storm coming in. But to get a reasonably full game in and perform like we did is really pleasing. 

Glenn Maxwell(WAF Captain) said post-match

“All praise to Jesus and thanks. [Seven changes] I mean, this game was really important, obviously, Washington as well. We knew that once we batted first, we obviously qualified, right? It’s a really good opportunity for us to give the other guys who’ve been a part of the team and didn’t get a chance. It’s really important to get an opportunity. The senior guys really wanted the guys to go out there and get an opportunity as well. It’s difficult to be in a tournament and not get opportunities. We know that as cricketers, the results didn’t go in our favour today, but that’s fine.
