After the game, Australian manager David Neilson said, "Disappointed. It collapsed from the beginning. The team failed to revive and collapsed on its own. The Japanese pitchers were also good."
As for posting 12 pitchers, he said, "It was a prelude to a move to Taiwan. We did not have any results, but we sent them out as we wanted them to get used to the environment."
Japanese media SportiniaNex expressed caution, saying, "If we prepare for the second game (against Dominica) on the 15th in Taiwan, we can expect future games."
