"I don't think it gets any better than that. To get a hundred off the last ball in front of your home crowd and playing the way I did today was fantastic. For me it felt very much like my first Test hundred at Headingley in 1989, the way I saw the ball and hit everything into the gaps. I just wish I had more days like that than the bad days, it was almost the perfect day."

- Australia's Test captain Steve Waugh who scored his 29th Test ton of the last ball of the day.
