"I’ve played only a couple of state games where we’ve used the (powerplay) rule in this way," said Aussie captain Ricky Ponting.
"I don’t think I’ve seen any team use it in the last five overs. As it went on it was getting pretty evident they were going to use it around the same time as us but then they lost a couple of wickets.”
"They held it back and Morkel, 40 off 18 balls, it was enough to get them over the line."
"We tried to leave it (the powerplay) as late as possible with wickets in hand, but we kept losing wickets around the 40th over, and when I got in I told Albie ‘we’ve got to take it now’," said SA stand in Captain, Botha.
"It’s nice for us, being down in the 220s, to come back and win this match, it is good for the team," said Albie Morkel, who was the man of the match.
"I’m just happy that I scored a few runs today."
