ICC World Cup 2015: Australia vs New Zealand Final - Who said what

After restricting New Zealand to 183/10 in 45 overs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Australia – riding on fifties from captain Michael Clarke (74 off 72) and Steven Smith (56* off 71) – chased down the target in 33.1 overs to win the 2015 World Cup. Grant Elliott top scored for the Kiwis with an 82-ball 83. Mitchell Johnson and James Faulkner picked up 3 wickets each to run through the middle order, while Mitchell Starc set up the game for his team by dismissing Kiwi captain Brendon McCullum for a duck in the first over of the match. Here are some of the players’ reactions: Note: Quotes courtesy, Cricbuzz 

#1 Australian captain Michael Clarke

Obviously I am over the moon. What a tournament. Firstly, to Brendon and his New Zealand team, congratulations on a wonderful tournament. To the Australian fans and all fans, the support we've had is amazing. Then to the team, including the support staff, we have a wonderful bunch of guys. The guys played really well once again.

It's been an honour and privilege to represent my country in Tests, ODIs and T20Is. The blackband is, you can see PH written on it. I will wear it every game I play for Australia. It's certainly dedicated to Phil Hughes. Hughesy used to party as good as any of them. It's a great thing to be making the final and to win it in front of your home fans is special.
