"....there is an element called pressure, and it is this undeniable and indefinable element, that causes so much change in the fortune of an International cricket match. " in his column for a cricket website

 
Rahul Dravid

"Maybe, I get under their skin in my own way. I didn't even understand what [Michael] Slater was saying. It is very difficult to understand what the Aussies are saying... and that helps. You can hear some common expletives, but, other than that, I couldn't understand what he said."

"Warne tends to bowl more negative to me. He backs on me being negative and upsetting the team cart. He bowls over the wicket in the rough, gets it to turn in; now that is a very difficult thing to do and, in that, Warne is no doubt unique."

"At times the runs don't matter. I bat time. That is what Test cricket is all about, all said and done! It is all about how long you can keep the opposition in the park and back yourself,"

"I mean cricket is a funny game, you don't know when you are going to get the opponents out and how much you would have to chase,"

 
Ian Chappel
"Harbhajan Singh has reigned supreme over the Australians and dominated their batting like no one else has since Richard Hadlee (1986-87) took 33 wickets in three Tests and Jim Laker (1956) 46 in five. " in his column for a cricket website
 
"There was nothing rude about it……the Australian fans are welcome on any Indian ground. They are our guests and I will take steps to ensure that a good atmosphere prevails in the stands….I will speak to the players and see what needs to be done" - Indian manager Chetan Chauhan said the Australina fans had misinterpreted the thumbs-up gesture by the players.
 
Tiger Patuadi

"Sairaj Bahutule is not a great spinner of the ball, nor did I see a googly, but he keeps it pretty straight and at least on these kind of wickets, he will get some respect, if not many dismissals. " in his column for cricket website

 
Luke Gillian (Australian support group leader)
"For five days at the Eden Gardens my colleagues and I supported cricket, naturally wanting Australia to win, amidst a barrage of verbal taunts, food, water bombs and blood-drawing rocks. If we are to show any respect for the Indian side, on behalf of the Australian supporters I ask that Sourav, Harbhajan and Prasad make a formal apology to us."
 

"Just when I thought I was getting the measure of him, I was out and the series is over," Steve on Harbhajan Singh

 

"Harbhajan is up there with the best."

 

Do you, too, find yourself wishing -- after four days of high-voltage action -- that this were a five-Test series? In his column for a cricket website
