WordsWorth

Pithy remarks and quotable quotes. Wordsworth takes the best statements of the week and packages them into one exciting feature. From quotes that help you delve further into the psyche of players to acerbic barbs from incensed cricketers to remarks that are just downright hilarious, we have them all. They may not quite be "from the mouths of babes and sucklings," but they are just as interesting.

Pre-Tour

We were all quite gobsmacked.
- Martyn Ball, on hearing the news of his selection with his friends.

And then there's Sachin Tendulkar, who is a batting lineup on his own.
- Graham Gooch.

I think Rob (Robert Croft) and Caddy (Andrew Caddick) have made difficult decisions, but there were a lot more guys with those feelings initially.
- England physio Dean Conway, on Caddick and Croft dropping out of the Indian tour.

It gives you such a lift when he takes time out to see you and talk things through.
- Ashley Giles, on Nasser Hussain.

He's had a good time of late, so hopefully the tables will turn and we'll be able to dominate him.
- Marcus Trescothick, on Harbhajan Singh.

There's probably more danger going to Heathrow or using the tube than visiting Bangalore and Bombay.
- Mark Ramprakash.

I would be very surprised if any player in this current climate said he would be happy to go to India.
- Graham Thorpe.

When you've got a stadium with 60,000 people there, the England team is a target for someone who wants to make a point.
- Ian Botham.

It's not just about beer. We're there for the cricket first and to enjoy ourselves second.
- Paul Burnham, one of the founding Barmy Army members.
