Josh Hazlewood: "Nice feeling. There was something for the bowlers and I tried to hit the right areas consistently. Nice to get the results.
I feel like I bowled well in the first half of the summer with not much results. But playing with this attack, the pressure is relentless.
(On Shamar Joseph) Amazing debut. Impressive young lad. First ball and that too of Smith. A very good debut.
We thought just as the lead grew, it would be good for Steve to walk out and bat. I feel he gets very nervous in the ten-minute break.
The last time we played a pink ball Test, it was a hard surface and the ball got softer. The new ball plays a huge part in the day-night Test."

Kraigg Brathwaite (West Indies Skipper): "I thought our bowlers did very well to bowl out Australia. Our batters didn’t get enough runs while batting.
As a batter, you have to get feel of the Test cricket and playing against the number one team. How to score and how to put away the bad balls. It is important for them to learn.
(On Shamar Joseph's debut) It was great. He is a guy full of energy. He has a bright future ahead of him and he also scored some runs lower down the order which is a good sign."

Pat Cummins (Australia Skipper): "Great Test match and happy that it finished in three days.
It was a wicket that you always feel there was something in it. It was important for the batters to get their eye in and Trav set the platform for us with the bat in hand.
Josh was fantastic. Yesterday as well, he took the game away from them in a single spell and really happy for him."

That's it from all of us for this Test match. Australia go 1-0 up in the series and West Indies will have to bring out their A-game in the day-night Test in Brisbane to draw level the series.
