"We
have fourteen good enough players to play for Australia. We do not depend
on only one individual... We are looking at the long-term prospects."
- On the much criticised rotation policy
|

|
|
"I
am passing through a bad phase. It is for the first time in my five-year
career that my lack of form has extended this long. I am trying my best."
- The Indian skipper on his poor form
"Matthew
Hayden played an incredible innings. We tried everything to get him out,
but he just kept coming at us." - Quoted as saying to The Hindustan Times
|
|
|
|
"The
rotation policy is good. I had a well deserved rest. I was able to recover
from weariness and was much more focussed today." - Talking to reporters
after his match winning knock at Vizag
|

"Though
it (the runs) has come at the fag end of this tour we still are left with
a very important match and I hope to do well there." - On regaining his
form with a century
|

"For
goodness sake let no one talk about Harbhajan Singh as an allrounder.
Indian team has plenty of big heads as it is, on this count." - Quoted
as saying in The New Indian Express
"Making
a mess of opportunities is becoming a Ganguly trademark. And it is difficult
to fathom how he can possibly face his colleagues in a team meeting."
- Quoted as saying in The New Indian Express
"It
is entirely upto Sourav to prove that he is a good student of the game
and he has no hang-ups about going back to basics." - Quoted as saying
on what Sourav should do to regain his lost touch in The New Indian Express

|
"As
the Indian skipper he owes an explanation to nobody least of all the overseas
media whose temerity in suggesting that he is rude should be laughed at."
- Quoted as saying in the Times of India on the Australian media criticising
Sourav Ganguly
"Imagine
calling Ganguly rude just because he kept the opposite captain waiting.
Then what about all the verbals that the opposition bowlers have indulged
in as well as fielders at point or square leg well away from TV cameras
and stump microphones. Is that polite behaviour?" - Quoted as saying in
The Times of India

"When
in form there are few better sights in cricket, than Ponting. He is purely
classical in his stroke play." - Quoted as saying in The New Indian Express
on Ricky Ponting's century
|
|
|
|
"Let's
dump this mind-set about preparing only batting tracks into the Bay of
Bengal. Let's have some heart for the bowlers." - Quoted as saying in
his column in The Hindu on the flat batting tracks for one- dayers
