Mulder revealed he had been inundated with messages of support from family and friends back home in South Africa and he had even spoke with Head after the victory.
“I actually spoke to him (Head) last night on the phone,” Mulder said.
“He was chuffed for the way it went for us.
“Obviously he was broken that they didn’t win, but I think overall, the spirit of the game was really as high or as good as it could be.
“You think about the Aussies, you always think about them as being a little bit nasty at times, but I think these guys are true champions.
“And the way they go about it, the consistency that they bring to every single day and every single moment of the game, just shows why they’re arguably the best team, best sporting cricketing team to ever play the game.”
