"There has to be better communication and co-ordination. We need improve in these areas in the forthcoming matches." - The Indian coach on the three run-outs

"From my perspective, I think there is need to work hard on basics. The things that cost us the match were flaws in calling, backing up, losing eye contact with the ball, and one cannot make such mistakes in one-day cricket." - Talking to the Times of India after India's defeat

"Hemang Badani had got some runs against Zimbabwe earlier but today he batted really well. His hundred was the positive which emerged for us from this match." - Praisinbg the efforts of Badani

 
Steve Waugh

"A score of 248 was "very competitive especially if you get a couple of early wickets. Though our bowling was satisfactory, the batting was excellent." - At the post match conference

"I think we played poorly in the first one-dayer. The batsmen did not do their job. But for this game we had done our little homework and the players did well. I think Nathan Bracken bowled very well in his first game here." - On the planning for the Pune match

"We want to carry on this vein in the three remaining matches and win this one-day series." - The Aussie captain on the rest of the series

 
Mark Waugh

"Considering the wicket and situation this hundred was one of the best in recent times." - On his match-winning century

 

"Sachin Tendulkar looked set to be the first batsman to score 10,000 runs in one-day cricket but perhaps he got a bit carried away and fell into the trap set by the Australians." - In his column in The Times of India

"Keeping him in the reserves to carry drinks and come to field when a star wants a break is not doing justice to him for the full-hearted service he has rendered to Indian cricket."- On Robin Singh's non- inclusion in the eleven in the Times of India

 

"Hemang Badani adds to the list of young brigade of cricketers we may see in the next World Cup. Badani showed good sense and temperament to leave a stamp of class and utility. Poor Badani will have to be content with an achievement and defeat simultaneously. " - Quoted as saying in his column in The New Indian Express

"The more I see Harbhajan bowl in one-dayers, the more I am convinced he should be happy away from it. Let us give him time to settle down in Test cricket with patience." - In The New Indian Express

 

"Badani had showed glimpses of his ability in the last series. This innings showed the full flair of the TN left-hander. I think he has done enough to earn a Test place now." - The former Indian player on the southpaw from Tamil Nadu in his column in The Indian Express

"Win, a feeling that the Australians had missed for a while now. The series is now open for grabs as we prepare to go to Indore for the third one-dayer." - On the forthcoming game
