"It feels fantastic. We deserve this victory and the boys have played their hearts out. Yes, my cameo gave belief to the boys and that helped us to get the win. The surface was slow and turning. It was drier. So, we knew 160 was competitive. The conditions suited me today as the pitch was conducive to spin. I am elated for my boys."
