Short field landing?

Hi everyone first time poster long time reader.
Landing into Sydney the other night on runway25 and was just about to exit taxiway Juliet and I heard someone requesting if taxi way bravo was available.
I finally got a clearance to cross 16R, expecting to see a dash8 exit off bravo I was very surprised to see a qantas a330 pull off.
I said to my off sider it must be empty. He said " no I can see passengers on that".
It was a little bit busy on the ground radio but I just wanted to say that was a bloody great effort.
Congrats man
Is that short for an a330?
Oh and as usual it was a crosswind landing.
