"Faf came out and played a beautiful knock. It's scary the amount of runs Amla has piled on in his short career. He's got many years to come, hopefully for us. Such a team man. Contributes a lot in the changing room too. It's a difficult one (on why Tahir came late). You have to read the situation and the conditions out there. I felt it was important for him to start a little late today. There's no set plan. It comes down to good feeling in the gut. Good that he's the top ranked bowler, so I can bowl him anytime. Lot of focus on the fielding in the last few weeks. And it showed today. What pleased me today is that we competed every single ball - that's what a champion team is all about," he said.
Speaking about the upcoming match against Pakistan, he said, "We have Pakistan at Edgbaston next. We played them there at the last CT. The wicket's pretty good there, as we saw in the Aus-NZ game. We will see what plans will work against them. There are a lot of challenges as a captain: firstly I would like to score runs and lead by example. We do have a fantastic balance, so I will say that getting team selection right before every game in this tournament is a challenge."
