       Any comments to comms@cricinfo.com
       Ealham must come close to MoM, although Hussain and Knight could be
        candidates
       Flower ...  we did not play well, playing across the line was not
        what was needed on this pitch and the bowling of Ealham
       It was not a bad pitch and we should have scored a lot more runs
       It is difficult to recover from a collapse like that
       Streak and Rennie did very well to pull us back to 160
       My finger is ok, it popped out and we put it on the ice, it is fine
        now. 
       We have to put this match behind us and start again.
       Hussain .... Never to easy, and all credit to Mark Ealham
       He used the conditions well
       We got off to a flyer and had the NRR in the back of our minds
       It is important for us that we came back again after Cape Town, 
        you can not ask any more of the players
       All crdit to them
       MoM ... Mark Ealham 5/15 in 10 overs
       Ealham ... I enjoyed it, it was my kind of wicket, low and skiddy
       and umpire Orchard was on my side today
       I got a lot of stick from the boys in the change rooms, but it was my
        day
       It is amazing for me to get 5 wickets, all lbw, but bowling from close
        to the wicket, when I appeal I normally think it is out, today the
        umpire agreed
       That is that from Kimberley, Join us again on Wednesday from Durban
