South Africa thrash the Windies in first Test

  • Intro:

    Reaction following South Africa's crushing victory over West Indies in their first Test in Centurion on Saturday

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English)

    "I was surprised - I didn't expect what was that? Eight wickets? Eight wickets in a session? Something like that - certainly didn't expect it to happen so quickly but we saw the wicket was getting a bit difficult to bat on and there was some pretty much exceptional bowling from Dale that kind of started the tumble. So just really happy we have got a day and a bit to rest. It's been a long Test match in a way because it is our first Test back, so I think physically it has took it's toll on all our guys."

    SUPER CAPTION: Hashim Amla

    SOUNDBITE: (English)

    "As a captain, disappointed with the way guys got out. We got starts in the first innings - we were 70 odd without loss, going quite nicely. I believe that the guys should have carried on. But having said that, there is some slight improvement there where we can move forward.."

    SUPER CAPTION: Denesh Ramdin

    SOUNDBITE: (English)

    "No, I think Hash (Hashim Amla) is spot on - I think the wicket quickened up a little bit this morning and it was just that the ball came out nicely today. I've said it before - sometimes you go past the edge, other times you find the edge and when you do find the edge, you tend to make batters play a little bit more - they are a little bit more wary, they are a little bit more uncomfortable against playing you. Again, I was lucky - I got one this morning, the next it was a kind of a roll. So yesterday I felt like I was OK but the ball found the bat and went into the gaps more than it found the edge like today."
