I'm at a loss for words. That is my best moment in cricket by far.

In the past our crowds haven't been too great with them but trust me, we're not going to sit back and say, shame, poor things'.

We found out what it is like to dominate most of a match, yet still lose 1-0. We feel great about our play, but the guys are pretty frustrated.

I also decided to take a few chances when the balls were pitched short. Luckily it worked, even though one or two shots went flying over the wicketkeeper's head. When you get runs against weaker countries you aren't always that appreciative but when you make runs against the Aussies it feels really good.

Obviously it's not the majority of the crowd. It's the guys who have had too much liquor. So we understand it's difficult to control. But we've made our point.

I don't need to tell the Australians (anything).

The Australian press are trying to say ex-pat South Africans are the culprits.

I believe that they have called up a couple of, what do they call them? Ashes rejects, or something like that. I actually haven't even looked at the squad.

I hope our public give them a bit of stick because we've taken a serious amount.
