During an interaction after the match, Cummins shared that the Aussies took a second huddle just to acknowledge how big the moment was. When he was asked if the crowd's silence was his sweetest experience on a cricket field, he said:
“Yeah, I think so. We did take a second in the huddle just to acknowledge the silence that was going around the crowd. It just felt like it was one of those days where it was all made for him to score another hundred like he normally does and that was satisfying.”
