"Our basic plan was to bowl tight and deny them runs. The fact that Sachin, who started at the other end, was getting turn gave me some confidence when I came on." - Harbhajan Singh

"He has been taking a lot of wickets. There’s a lot of top spin in his deliveries and he manages to extract much bounce from the wicket." - The Aussies coach on the off spinner

"This day will long be remembered for momentary mental black-out of Aussie captain." - In his column in The New Indian Express

"Harbhajan's last name could well be 'Laker' for the present lot of Aussies to be reminded of some cricket history." - on the young off spinner's seven wicket haul

"Test cricket has a peculiar knack of letting a pistol off at the ear; not a feather to tickle the intellect." - The former Indian captain on Steve Waugh's freak dismissal

"It is not very often tht Steve Waugh runs out of options. He did today." - On the Australian bowling

 
SK Bansal

They may have been unhappy to be dismissed. But I am sure, when they look back at those shots they will realise the mistakes they made." - The umpire quoted as saying on the five lbw decisions against the Aussies in the historic Kolkata Test in The New Indian Express

"I have no regrets on any decision I made in my entire umpiring career. I may have made mistakes. After all, to err is human." - The umpire said in an interview to The New Indian Express

 

"Full credit should be given to the Indians for coming back and winning the Test. There is no doubt that the Indians are mentally strong after the win but the Aussies know how to come back from difficult situations." - On the Kolkata Test
