"You
must remember statistics prove that 90% of wins are registered by taking
20 wickets, only 10% come after a declaration by the other side." - EAS
Prasanna in his column. |

Sourav
Ganguly |
|
We
have started preparations and we are working hard. This much I can tell
you because we want to win this series. We all know how important it is
to win it. So we are working hard towards this purpose. - Sourav Ganguly
in 'The Week' magazine. |

Sachin
Tendulkar |
|
"I
want to concentrate on my batting and get as many runs as possible for my
country" - Sachin Tendulkar. |
|
Shane
Warne |
|
After
a long time, I'm feeling totally fit and my immediate target would be
to get 400 Test wickets - Shane Warne.
|
|
"I
don't think you should be terming the forthcoming clash as Warne versus
Sachin (Tendulkar) or McGrath versus Sachin or anything other than, India
versus Australia. He added "In fact, the last time around when India played
us it was Navjot Singh Sidhu who set the tone by going after my bowling
and it was not Tendulkar, as most people believe." - Shane Warne on the
keen tussle between him and Tendulkar.

To
win in the Sub-Continent, an individual has to produce a nice blend of talent
and patience. Waugh's men have the talent alright, but do they have the
patience to win this one. - Former Australian player in India Today magazine. |

Jason
Gillespie |
|
"Can't
tell you, because we will not like to disclose. But generally I am not concentrating
on a particular player. I see it as a team. I would rather like to bowl
batsman to batsman not giving any special attention to anyone." - Gillespie
on any special plans for Sachin and Sourav in The NewspaperToday. |
|
"Aggression should be the key word here, rather I would say continuous aggression
should be the real expression. Glenn (McGrath) and I are trying to focus
on that." - Gillespie on success in sub-continent wickets in The NewspaperToday. |
