Ollie Robinson (Player of the Match): "The last few weeks have been enjoyable, and coming in this summer every thing went well. Ah, we still have little work to do, and we have got that in our mind. I think we have really enjoyed the environment, everyone has got a smile in their face and therefore the atmosphere is good.
Yeah, the surface definitely helped. The other two bowlers did their work from the other end and it helped me too. Thank You."

Kagiso Rabada (Player of the series South Africa): " Yeah it seemed like every game was decided at the time of the toss, we won the toss at Lord's and we won the game. Particularly as a youngster, I need to back my skills, I injured myself in the second T20I I was not sure whether I would be able to make it for the first test but I am happy that I made it. It's very exciting to see the talent in terms of fast bowlers we have, overall we have a good team. You can never take the game for granted you need to put 100 percent every time on the field nothing is easy."
Dean Elgar (South Africa captain): "No it hasn't been great for me when it comes to international games at Oval. No doubt, I think, in the first innings with the bat in hand, we have to be blank that we weren't good there. In England, the first innings runs can always be piled up but we weren't up to the mark.
There are a lot of learning going forward for the youngsters and we have a bit of work to do for us. I would like to give a lot of credits to our bowlers to do the work well with the ball in hand. The overheads and the duke ball is something to go about for the bowlers. I think the bat in hand for us, we didn't execute well in Day 3 or day 1 what can I say?
When it comes to Test cricket, its merrier that we get more matches. We wish to get exposed to matches all around the globe." Being able to play against quality Test match sides like England is always a good learning.
I think we played good test match cricket. But I think we failed to put the scoreboard pressure today. But I think England did everything they had to do to clinch this series."

England's Player of the Series: Ben Stokes.
Ben Stokes (Player of the series England): " Yeah very delighted it's been a great series for us. There was not only a standout individual performance but everyone contributed and chipped it. Yeah looking at the conditions I feel that toss played an important role. I think when you have got bowlers like Jimmy, Stuart, and Robbie it's just that I need to manage them properly. It's about understanding when I need to get in and bowl. It's fine if you are gonna six out of seven games I will take it. For me, it's about the clarity of the messaging I give.
The backroom staff and Coaches play an important role in it. We owed this victory to us, to the nation who supported us, we are always going to play cricket in a positive way. It's important to allow the guys to we need to be a bit aggressive we should not underestimate the openers they see off the new balls and allow the middle-order batters to play aggressively. The way Popey's come out and played, he's shown what he's capable of playing, and Zak and Leesy, It's good to have Jimmy and Stuart on the team. They keep turning day in and day out, lot of youngsters will look up to him.No I don't think so, you mentioned Joe we should give him a lot of credit for the way he captained the side. He had a different way to lead the side my way is a bit different.
We started this summer on a good note, the conditions in Pakistan will be different but we will go with the positive intent into that series."
