Faf du Plessis, Captain Texas Super Kings: We didn't bat well, obviously tricky wicket, you gotta get through first six overs. It does get a bit better after first 10. First six overs for the them was tricky too and then it got easier. We have to find a way and the learning here is to play the first ten overs. After a game like this, we don't want to have an emotional response, just look at the things you can get better at.
Wayne Parnell, Captain Seattle Orcas: I think it's just about the process really. After the last game, I didn't bowl as well as I would have liked to. It was an opportunity to put things right and I kept it simple. I have enjoyed captaincy, I have always seen myself as leader; just been out there and add some flair to the captaincy, so far it has gone well. I think the first one (wicket) I got lucky, got a bit shorter then I wanted to. A really good ball to get Miller, and at backend once guys are trying to hit you, there is always a chance for wickets. There was a lot of assistance in the wicket so it was about hitting the right areas, I get the accolades but it's bowling as a unit....it's very pleasing, two very important games to go before we think about the knockout games. We want to recover and come back well. it's been challenging to play in different conditions. It's been great to bring cricket in America. Seeing people smiling and watching cricket is always pleasing.
Super Kings hardly took any wickets and had a slim chance to come back in the game after folding on 127. After this thumping win and a clinical run chase, Orcas now sit at top of the table with a healthy net-run-rate and with six points in their bag. Nauman Anwar made a scratchy 19 but he made sure he stayed on the crease for a vital fifty run stand with Quinton de Kock that set the platform. Later, Heinrich Klassen was quite severe on the bowlers and clobbered three sixes and four fours, striking at a staggering 200 to seal the deal for Orcas. Earlier, Wayne Parnell was unplayable; the former Proteas bowling spearhead used all of the tricks up his sleeve and picked up a sensational fifer to rip through TSK batting line-up.
Quinton de Kock: It's nice to have everyone contributing. We have got quite a lot hungry guys trying to win. I am not sure if I have made any impact on the youngsters. I am always open to speak to the youngsters, If I have made any impact, I am happy about it. We want to keep the momentum and we don't want to lose next two so need to keep the momentum going.
