Aiden Markram (South Africa Captain): "(On biggest wins for South Africa in terms of runs and innings) Yeah, I'm not really sure either; I'm not great with numbers, but I’m incredibly proud of the guys. It’s been incredibly tough for the entire group here. A lot of hard work has gone into it, and it's nice to see that effort pay off. In both the first and second Test matches, we played some really good cricket, especially considering we were in conditions we're not used to and are looking to improve in. Reflecting on these two games, we take a lot of confidence from our performances.
(On three batters making the maiden century)Yeah, that was special. The way the three of them really dug in was impressive. It was extremely hot, and scoring was tough at times. They really bit the bullet for the team, helping us get into a strong position. They could have easily been satisfied with just reaching 100 or getting out at 80, but I think they set aside individual goals and personal satisfaction. I’m incredibly proud of them and genuinely happy for their contributions.
The bowlers worked well together, and KG led from the front; it was special to watch him. Everyone seized their opportunity, and I’m proud of all three aspects of the game. There's still a long way to go and plenty of Test cricket to be played. We need to take it session by session and Test match by Test match. Hopefully, we'll be on that flight to Lord's for the World Test Championship final."
