Michael Slater

"My belief on this Rahul Dravid catch - and one I did actually take (is it) has been totally blown out of proportion."

Madan Lal

"They (BP XI players) have to do well in all departments, whatever the job is. If you are a wicket keeper you have to do well in wicket keeping, if you are a batsman you have to get runs and if you are a bowler you have to get wickets. That's what we see and it depends how you fit in with that 15." - NDTV quotes from one of the selectors on the BP XI's players

Sourav Ganguly

"We got beaten by a team who played better cricket than us in all departments of the game." - In Times of India

Steve Waugh

"He made a few statements at the start of the tour. Now he has to back them up. That will put more pressure on him as well. If he fails here, he is going to be under enormous pressure going into the Test match." - Steve Waugh quoted in The Courier Mail on Sourav Ganguly

"Justin Langer was hit 15 times at short leg but I never saw an Indian batsman ask how he was." - Waugh reacting to Mongia's injury in the Sydney Morning Herald

"If we'd just lapsed for ten minutes, India would have taken control of the game." - About the Mumbai Test in India Today

Sunil Gavaskar

"All is not lost. To come back in a three-Test series is not easy. But we can show more determination. When you feel the pain of defeat, your effort level rises." - the former Indian captain in Mid Day

Vijay Dahiya

"I have to go out there and perform, and I have a captain to take charge of everything, so my role is to perform. If we are batting first then it is to get some runs and if we are fielding then I am going to go out there and do my wicketkeeping." - On his role against the Aussies in the final tour game in NDTV

Dinesh Mongia

"I have to get runs in this game. That's the most important thing actually. If i get runs, I think I will be there." - An optimistic Punjab player in an interview to NDTV

EAS Prasanna

"It is surely not going to spin and jump on this track. It’ll be best for India to ensure that they don’t lose the series here, for Chennai may again give them the sort of pitch that will suit them better." The former Indian offspinner in The Telegraph

"If bowlers can get bounce and turn on pitches in Calcutta, they would be able to do so in most other places. It’ll be the best place to find out which youngster has it in him and which doesn’t." In an interview to The Telegraph

"Spinners, like wine, mature with years, and they need to be guided by people who know what spin bowling is all about." - In The Telegraph

Justin Langer

"I’ve never got so many (hits) in a game before. Usually they miss you, but this time they seemed to hit me all the time. We counted about 12 yesterday." - Langer on being hit on the shoulder in the Sydney Morning Herald

"It was almost surreal. All of a sudden I see Punter (Ponting) sprint, sprint, sprint and take this sensational catch. It lessened the pain for a bit." - Langer on Ponting's catch to dismiss Sachin

Piloo Reporter

"Why didn’t he call his captain? Why didn’t he tell him to get lost? All this was shocking and of course unbelievable." - Umpire Piloo Reporter in Mid Day on Venkat's soft stand against Slater's action
