Stay on for the quotes from the post-match ceremony

Gayle: I thought myself and Xavier started well. But it didn't go well after that. It's up to us as individuals to improve. We can't continue like this. We need to pull our socks up. We were lost wickets regularly and didn't even bat the 50 overs."

Ponting: It was a very good win today. Xavier and Gayle played at the top and it looked like they would score more but we bowled well in the second half of the innings. We played some good cricket. Magnificent innings from Watson. He managed the tempo very well. His bowling was good as well." On is batting. "About time, wasn't it?! It was nice to get some time out there."

Man of the Match : Shane Watson : "It's amazing how things can turn around, from zero to getting my first hundred. I am so lucky to be given a opportunity. It was nice to put my hand up and score some runs. Things are progressing well. A year or so ago it wasn't looking great. "

That's it from us. Good bye and good luck
