"I thought it was exceptional, the way the young men knocked down some pins there toward the end."
Britain skipper Eoin Morgan was much more unreserved in his commendation of Australia's bowlers, saying he had been anticipating that his group will score no less than 340 focused around the "ordering execution" of the batsmen in the initial 40 overs.
"I haven't seen Australia dish demise knocking down some pins like that for quite a while," Morgan said.

While he was satisfied to have satisfied that part himself he focused on the criticalness of the early commitments of Shaun Marsh (45), Glenn Maxwell (37) and James Faulkner (42), and particularly Brad Haddin (42 off 29) that permitted Australia to score over a run a ball to win the match.
"It [haddin's innings] was exceptional. He comes in and plays decidedly from ball one and it truly takes the weight off. He's carried out it on a lot of events now, especially in the last couple of recreations," the acting skipper said. "It's decent to have somebody there at number seven who does something like that."
All alone structure, Smith concurred it was "all going great right now".
"I know the diversion can change before long and I've got to attempt to score the greatest number of runs as I can while I'm in this sort of structure," he said.

"Patty has done it perfectly for us at the demise before. He's an uncommon bowler and he's been rocking the bowling alley truly well for us. Those days happen and I'm certain he'll take in a ton from the way he went about it today," he said.
Smith said Australia's presently ensured position in the tri-arrangement last would not influence their methodology to the Australia Day match against India in Sydney. He expects the group will recover all of Mitch Johnson, David Warner, Shane Watson and George Bailey for the match.
"For us its about attempting to win each amusement we would," he be able to said. "Energy is something to be thankful for in restricted overs cricket and assuredly we can keep up this force and continue playing some great cricket going into the last of the tri-arrangement and afterward the World Cup also."
