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.

May 2nd week

This was the old thigh-pad, the one I was wearing when I got some runs in Bulawayo. So I am trying to get it in shape so that it can bring me luck. - Harbhajan Singh, on his run-drought lower down the order.

This team is getting better and better. We're not far from being the sort of quality side we want this team to be. - West Indies coach Roger Harper after his team's win at Barbados.

The good thing about this Test match is that the verdict was convincing. We outplayed India in every department of the game, which was good to see. - Carl Hooper after winning the third Test.

There's self-discipline required in the shots you hit in the middle. We have to make the right decisions. - Indian coach John Wright.

It's 1-1 right now and there's still a lot of cricket to be played in the series. If we bat well we know we can win. - Sourav Ganguly after the Barbados Test.

I'm pretty pleased about the way I'm batting right now. I hope sometime during the season I'll be able to convert one of those fifties into a hundred. - Ramnaresh Sarwan, on missing out on a century in the first innings at Bridgetown.

Hopefully, five days after my birthday we will be celebrating a win, that is most important. - Brian Lara, on his birthday coinciding with the first day of the third Test.

I'm sure we'll do well and post a big West Indian total and go on to win the match. - Mervyn Dillon, after helping the West Indies bowl India out for 102.

If I have to name the great cricketers of all time, the list will be limited to very few. And I must add that, if Brian (Lara) continues to play the way he is playing now, he will definitely be there. - Sir Garfield Sobers

I could reach the ball, but I could not get it in my gloves. Had I been able to get it in my palm, the catch would not have gone down. - Deep Dasgupta, on dropping Carl Hooper on nought at Guyana.

I don't mean to be critical of (Dinanath) Ramnarine, but that combination has just not worked for us. - Carl Hooper, on his preference for an all-pace attack.

Harbhajan bowled well to Lara in the first innings at Trinidad, but Kumble has been a great performer and can run through any tail. - Sourav Ganguly, on the spin dilemma ahead of the third Test.
