| Ricky Ponting: The guys have been tremendous since the end of the Ashes. We have been through ups and downs in the last few months but it is good to know that we are still the number 1 team in the world. I felt really good about my batting form. I got a break after the Ashes and it helped. |

| Shane Watson: Shane Bond and Kyle Mills bowled really beautifully and it was a great challenge facing them. It is great to be a part of such a great win. The situation was a lot more challenging and so was the wicket compared to my last hundred. |

|
|
|
|
|
| McCullum: It is a huge disappointment for us. We missed a few key players due to injuries. Probably we were 50 runs short. The Australians built the pressure. We never got a start. Kyle Mills and Shane Bond bowled very well early on, unfortunately we didn't provide them with enough runs. |

| New Zealand for the way they played this tournament; that win against Sri Lanka put to rest a disappointing tour to the country and that superb bowling display against England got them to the knockout stage. Elliott and Vettori then won them the semi-final against Pakistan, but today their batting let them down. Australia carried their form from that 6-1 win over England into this tournament, and have emerged deserved winners. |
