James Vince (Player of the Match): "Yeah, it was good. I think the bowlers in the second half did a fantastic job to stem the flow of runs. Obviously, with Maxi and Lawrence going reasonably well there, I thought the bowlers at the back end shut them down well. I don't think it was the easiest wicket, but, you know, 150- 157 from where they were was a great effort and gave us good confidence going into the chase.
I wouldn't say mastered it, tossed a few into the gaps, but, yeah, I felt like it was sort of wicket where didn't want to let the run rate climb too high. As you say, scoring at 12-13 in an over at the back end could have been difficult. So Hughes played a great knock around me and, yeah, I guess we just managed to find the boundary at the right time.
Apart from the previous game against them, I would like a few more runs in this competition. So, yeah, hot luck, but a good opportunity to stop the order. Although not been scoring that many runs, haven't felt too bad and conditions have been reasonably difficult on the hole. So although it was a little bit sticky tonight, it was fairly true. So it's nice to spend some time in the middle.
He [Murphy] is a top-class bowler. The lengths he hits and the way he found something out of the wicket, he bowled beautifully.
I normally get shunted down to three, but maybe Smudge [Smith] can come and play in the middle order. It'd be great to have him back if he's available."
