positive that I will be able to play at Kolkata." |

"It is important that our bowlers bowl with a proper wicket-keeper
behind the stumps. We don't want any of our batsman to be injured with
the second Test not very far away."
"To win the first Test was important, the next job is to win the
series and then setting goals to win three, which we set out to do at
the start. At the moment we have won just one, our mind is fixed on
getting ready for the next game." - The Aussie coach on his plans for
the Kolkata Test |

"There isn't much to worry about. It is just a slight niggle and I
should be fit for the Test match." - The Mumbai Test hero on missing
out the tour game |

| Glenn McGrath |

"Of course there is no doubt that Tendulkar is the key. While he
looked threatening in this Test, we don't plan to change our tactics
against him next time round." - The Australian paceman on plans to
tackle Tendulkar
"Our exploits in Mumbai have not made us complacent and we know that
the series is far from over. There are still two Tests left and we
know we will have to play as well as we did in Mumbai in order to keep
winning." - On the Kolkata Test in his column
"A special word for the crowd in Mumbai. They were the loudest I have
played in front of. However, the best thing about the crowd was that
it was quite appreciative of strokeplay by the Australians as good
bowling from our team. This is why we did a lap of the ground
applauding the spectators." |

"I think we have got on to the right foot. The Indians certainly have
some psychological scars, (judging) from the way we played in Mumbai.
We have the upper hand." - In an interview to NDTV |

"The only way that you can play on even terms with the Australians is,
give them a sluggish track." - On India's strategy to tackle the
Aussies in the coming Tests |
