“The team showed great spirit and overcame the setbacks despite the injuries. We bowled pretty well, I thought 150 was a par score. It’s fantastic to play in and tour this country.” McCullum

“I thought we let the momentum slip after the first few overs. I thought I got away to a decent start but hit one straight to the fielder. I’m sure we will bounce back tomorrow.” McCullum

“There was pressure, after losing the last two ODIs. I thought the guys did a great job. I thought our score was enough. I’m very happy with the support we’ve got.” Afridi

“The guys played very well. Guys like Khalid Latif, Kamran Akmal and Razzaq. Younis gave me good confidence; he just told me to go and bat without any worries.” Afridi

“ It started well for us but we lost the momentum. Afridi came in late and then Akmal turned the momentum. we couldn’t get a partnership going. Now we have seen what the pitch is like, hopefully we can get it right for the next two games.” Vettori

“ It was a good effort from Khalid Latif, Afridi’s innings was the turning point. He was fantastic. Then Kamran Akmal played a fantastic innings. (On his own form) It’s not always possible to score runs, hopefully I will come back.” Younis
