WHAT THEY SAID

" These are a great bunch of guys, great support staff, and great support around the world, especially back home. Always pumped, wanted to put on a spectacle. There were some nerves around as always in a final but great to see the guys deliver." - David Warner

"I don't really have words, what an amazing six weeks with this group. Love them to death. World champs." - Mitchell Marsh

"It's huge. We felt like a lot of people wrote us off but we spoke about being the first team to do this for Australia and it feels really special." - Matthew Wade

"Kane's a superb player."  It was another classical innings, runs all around the ground and he hurts you when you bowl poorly." - Josh Hazlewood

"The key…this group of boys, we absolutely, we actually love each other. It is beautiful. I can't wait to keep playing with this team. I'm so proud of them. You won't find bigger supporters of Mitch Marsh than right here [except for] probably his family. " - Marcus Stoinis

"They're (Australia) a fantastic side, had a brilliant campaign and came out and turned it on. We weren't far away. Credit to the way Australia chase it, they didn't give us an inch. Wasn't to be today, but proud of how we've operated. Guys committed to what we tried to do in venues that varied a lot. There was a lot of heart shown, always nice to get to the big dance. But credit to Australia again. Some high hopes coming in, some good cricket played, so we're feeling it a bit. There are only two possible outcomes, shame we couldn't get the job done." - Kane Williamson
