Glenn McGrath on his target men in Times of India
"Dravid is on the agenda. But he puts Sachin Tendulkar (the best batsman) and Sourav Ganguly (the skipper) a little higher on the priority list. VVS Laxman, who has got nine first-class hundreds in a row, is also a prized wicket."

On Tendulkar

"I have dismissed him twice in four Tests so far. We see this practice game against Mumbai (starting February 22), as an excellent opportunity to tackle Tendulkar. He can always get the ascendancy by scoring a big knock, but if I can knock him over a couple of times, it can set the tone for the series.""

 
Adam Gilchrist at a press conference in Mumbai
"A majority of the team have played some sort of cricket in India and we would like to take that experience on board, it certainly will be a tough test of our ability and certainly I think we're all looking to the challenge of taking on India in India. Most of us have played against India in Australia but the conditions are different and it's certainly a challenge we are looking forward to."
 
Fleming on the teams plan to tackle Tendulkar
I think if we can get Tendulkar early a few times in the Tests, it's really going to kick start us on and I think it would be good. The last time, he got on top of us early in 1998. It would be great if we can get on top of him early this time, so it's going to be interesting. We all have had a lot of chats about him, working at a couple of plans. If one doesn't work, try another and try this one. It would be good if we get fired up early on.

"It was silly for him to say that he has control over the wickets. We shouldn't worry about turning tracks but instead concentrate on preparing good wickets, as these will start to break up on the fourth day.
 
Bedi on turning wickets in rediff.com

"What's the use of turning tracks that don't bounce? The ball was turning square against the Zimbabweans [at Nagpur] but without bounce, they were easily able to survive."
