Who said what at the Cricket World Cup on Tuesday, the 20th day of the 2023 tournament:

"To be honest I am a bit more tired than satisfied."

-- South Africa's Quinton de Kock after his 174 in the 149-rout of Bangladesh.

"He has been amazing, I need some of the juice he is having."

-- De Kock on free-scoring teammate Heinrich Klaasen.

"I think the only time I'm affected by the air quality is when my golf ball goes up in the air and I can't see it but apart from that absolutely no stress."

-- Australia's Mitchell Marsh shrugging off fears over the air quality in New Delhi ahead of Wednesday's game against the Netherlands.

"That partnership would have taken four days to get that many. No, my dad's a man of few words. He was very happy for us. And we always chat after every game, so he was pumped."

-- Marsh on his father Geoff, a former Australian Test batsman, after his 259-run opening partnership with David Warner in the win over Pakistan.

"It's the hot question at the moment, is how do we ride this momentum and actually put structures in place in the Netherlands so that this run that we're having can be sustainable and that we can look at the long term and not let this time just be a flash in the pan."

-- Netherlands' Logan van Beek hoping that the country's appearance at the World Cup can kick-start long-term interest in cricket back home.

"I watched a Dutch sports show this morning and they were talking about cricket and laughing how it's pretty similar to a nine to five job, how long it takes, and they're making a few other jokes. I hope that another couple of wins, they can almost stop joking about cricket in the Netherlands and they start talking seriously."

-- Van Beek on his frustration at how cricket is perceived back home.
