Matthew Hayden

"I fulfilled an ambition today to bat a day in Test cricket. I have been wanting to do that since I was a boy." - Quoted as saying to Malcolm Conn in The Hindu

"I developed the sweep, which is a very productive shot and which got me a lot of runs, under Bobby Simpson (former Australian coach)." Talking to reporters at the end of 1st day at Chepauk.

"I stuck to my game plan and it worked well. It is a special day for all of us and we will be looking to press the advantage from here and bat as long as we can." - On his third Test hundred

"I had this stint in 1998 when we talked with Bedi and Venkat on how to play spin, so the preparation helped a lot." - During his press meet in Chennai

 
Steve Waugh

"We can all learn by our mistakes, so I'm sure John (Buchanan) will learn from the experience." Quoted as saying in the Sydney Morning Herald on the Aussie coach John Buchchan's comment on Shane Warne

"We've failed once in 17 Tests so let's not make too big a deal of it. The series is up for grabs but we've got to believe we're good enough to do it." - On his sides chances in the series

 
John Wright
"I would have been roasting if we had lost at Kolkata." - Indian coach quoted as saying in The Times of India
 
"It is the way the Indians have held on that gives rise to the hope that they too will make the Australians sweat." - In his column in The Times of India
 
Ayaz Memon

"Whatever the result at Chennai, Indian cricket is now headed in a different direction, and should take the rest of the country with it." - Noted cricket writer Ayaz Memon in The Times of India

 
"If you have won 16 Tests in a row, there cannot be too many deficiencies. It was just a bad day in office." In an interview to The Times of India
 
"I shall leave our selectors as specialists who seem to know more and more about less and less." - In his column for The New Indian Express
 

"The Australians, following the debacle at Eden Gardens, have come back like a wonded tiger. In fact, their aggressive approach took one's breath away." - In his column in The Hindu

"It's been a long time since we saw so many sixes on the first day of a Test match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium." - In The Hindu

 
"I would thank God.... That, too, for three things: Giving the opportunity to play the second Test; to bat at No. 3 and, then, for helping get all the runs. Am I superstitious? No." - In reply to a question on looking towards the sky in an interview to The Telegraph.
