Posted: 06 Jan 2012 09:41 AM PST

# Australia have won two consecutive Tests against India for the first time at SCG. They had lost the previous Test at this venue by 122 runs in January 2008.

# India’s defeat to Australia is their 40th in Tests.

England have defeated India most number of times by an innings margin – 11.

# Ben Hilfenhaus (8/157) has registered his best bowling figures in a Test match, bettering the 7 for 114 against India at Melbourne in the first Test of the present rubber.

# For the second time in his Test career, Hilfenhaus has taken five wickets in an innings – 5 for 106 – - his second in consecutive Tests. In the Melbourne Test, he had taken 5 for 75 against India, his best ever.

Smith: It was an excellent bounce back from Durban. It was a special moment for Jacques in his 150th test. It was a real low at Durban, we cameback well here and I am pleased for them. Alviro did very well, to comeback and score a century was great. Alviro said he wanted to take strike in the 2nd innings and I was happy with that. We have done well here and we enjoy playing here. The crowd was wonderful and it was good to see the turnout. Tahir is getting better with every match and he has been terrific for us. Philander lends a lot to our attack and I am pleased about it. This is a starting point for us this year. We have a big year coming up and we want to do well. We are looking forward to the ODIs.

Dilshan: We did not get the breakthrough unfortunately. Kallis played very well along with Petersen and ABDV. We did not get a good start and lost too many wickets yesterday. Samaraweera and Mathews played really well here. I am happy with the effort at Durban, nobody thought we could win a match here, we proved them wrong. We want to do well in the ODI series.

ABDV: Very enjoyable and hard fought series. They surprised us at Durban, but we fought here very well. The support was great, the pitch was an excellent one as well. Excited to lead the team in the ODIs, I want to lead the team well with the support of Gary.

AB de Villiers is the MoS for his 353 runs.

Kallis: It has been a very special week for my family and friends. It has been a memorable week. I have always enjoyed playing here in Cape Town. We let ourselves down at Durban, but were compact here. I will play as long as I can contribute to the team’s cause and (jokes that as long as he does not read newspapers). The crowd support has been great. It is a very knowledgable crowd.

Jacques Kallis is the MoM for his all-round performance. He scored 224, picked up 3 wkts and took 6 catches in his 150th Test.

Michael Clarke: It was a great win, they made 400 in the second innings, but the wicket had flattened out. Our discipline has what has improved the most. We are getting better at our consistency. Great job by the bowlers. Experience and youth is what you need in any sporting team to achieve success. This is not the only Test match that Huss and Punter have played well. I was as relieved as Punter was when he got to his hundred. Class is always permanent. He has helped me a lot. Every Australian wanted to congratulate him. Sachin’s wicket is a really handy one to take. Really happy to score 300 on my home ground. The support from the public has been great. The crowd has given full credit to the Indian team as well.

Michael Clarke is the Man of the Match.

MS Dhoni: The first session did not go upto our expectations. Zak gave us 3 crucial breakthroughs but Clarke and Ponting put on a good stand. After that Hussey came in and scored a ton. Their scoring rate took the game away from us. The Australian batting lineup made the most of the conditions. Clarke got used to the pace of the wicket and after that, it became difficult to contain him. We can defeat this team in Perth. Stats is not important, what you do in the game is important.
