That will be all from us for this game. Join us for the 2nd ODI on Sunday from Hambantota. This is Abhishek Purohit signing off. Thanks for all the feedback. Cheers!
Clarke: "The wicket was fantastic, it was dry but held together better than I expected. It is important that I lead from the front, it is great having Ponting at No 3 with all that experience at the other end."
Mitchell Johnson is the Man of the Match for his 6 for 31. Johnson: "I enjoyed myself, good to get that win on the board after the Twenty20 losses, Brett Lee getting his 350th ODI wicket was exciting as well. I enjoyed getting Sanga out, always exciting to get one of their top players out."
Dilshan: "This was not a 190 wicket, we did not bat well. Our shot selection was not good, it was a good toss to win, I think our spinners bowled well, but they did not have the runs to defend."
Hang on for the presentation
