Ponting on win: It was exciting and entertaining (Perth)

Victorious skipper Ricky Ponting said that "This has been a particularly good Test match. We were a little bit disappointed we couldn't finish things off last night being my birthday it would have been nice to get one more wicket but I'm pretty proud and happy with what the boys have achieved over the last few weeks". Player of the Series and Windies captain Chris Gayle said he was satisfied with the way his team had bounced back from their heavy defeat in the first Test.
