After the performance Philander shared,
"It was a magnificent all-round performance from everyone, catches needed to be taken, there was a runout and all those things add up to a collective team effort to bowl a team out," Philander said.
Darren Lehman is the current coach of Australian team and day one show was also frightening for him. "It was a bit of a reminder of Trent Bridge the way the ball was going around. At the end of the day 85 is not good enough for an Australian cricket team," coach Darren Lehmann lamented.
