00:19Winning is always a good feeling, you know, to do it eight times and, you know, especially when you defend
00:25the title.
00:27At the beginning of the tournament, you know, we weren't at our strongest.
00:30Many people didn't think that we would get out of the group stage.

00:40it shows that our developmental program is doing well.
00:44He gave credit to the youngsters in the team who stepped up when it mattered.

01:34the final, you know.
01:35But, you know, I think he batted well, he hits the ball well.
