Steve Smith, Washington Freedom captain: It has been good fun, we have a good bunch of guys. They gelled together really quickly. Really good campaign, helps when you win games of cricket along the way. Nice to win tonight and get to the big dance. (On the instructions to the bowlers with the new ball) Just try and take wickets. With the new ball, on this wicket, you have to try and take inroads. It gets easier as the innings goes on. The bowlers did a magnificent job. It was a few under-par. Then Travis and Maxi played unbelievably well. Travis has been in unbelievable form for a while and he just keeps on going. He is clear, confident, and sees the ball and hits it. He has really good bat speed, when he hits it, the ball flies. He is getting into good positions and he is playing beautifully. Hopefully one more big knock from him (in the final).
