Our preparation has been peculiar, to say the least
- Indian coach John Wright, after the cancellation of the tour match at Chatsworth..

You might do eight laps of the ground, but you could still be unfit.
- Indian physiotherapist Andrew Leipus..

- Rahul Dravid, on his shoulder fitness scare..

I have developed this (googly) over the years. It is not difficult to detect but it spins more.

During the tour we do not want to disturb, and hence we are waiting for their arrival.
- Jagmohan Dalmiya, on his concerns about the Indian team's dismal showing..

I don't need to settle any scores with Ganguly now. I think I settled it quite effectively in the match, which mattered, the final of the one-day series.
- South African captain Shaun Pollock..

As a batter, I can't understand how bowlers can come into a Test match and not know what line and length to bowl.

My first line to him when he came in was `I know you're tense. You're never going to be this tense again, so enjoy the moment.'
