WordsWorth

Pithy remarks and quotable quotes. Wordsworth takes the best statements of the week and packages them into one exciting feature. From quotes that help you delve further into the psyche of players to acerbic barbs from incensed cricketers to remarks that are just downright hilarious, we have them all. They may not quite be "from the mouths of babes and sucklings," but they are just as interesting.

April 5th week

So far it is my sweetest moment as skipper. But the series is not over yet, it will be better if we go back with a series win. - Sourav Ganguly after winning the Port of Spain Test

The boys tried hard and we can still pull it back. There are still three Test matches to be played and, if anything, this game confirms that we are very capable of beating this team. But there are areas in our game that we have to improve on. - West Indies coach Roger Harper after his team's defeat.

Right to the very last end, I thought that we had a chance. Thirty- odd runs is not a lot runs but you needed somebody. Shiv [Chanderpaul] maybe needed to take a few more chances but that's the game. - West Indies skipper Carl Hooper.

We must resist the temptation of sitting on the lead, as we did in 1971. I hope Ganguly does not follow the same pattern. It could be disastrous with the West Indies going all out on faster pitches in the remaining three Tests. - Bishan Singh Bedi.

It's a great feeling. They really fought well. They showed great aggression. I could see that in the eyes of (skipper) Sourav Ganguly. - Ajit Wadekar while congratulating the Indians on their win in the second Test.

I'll not call him a leg-spinner. He is almost a medium-pacer. Still, he has got more than 300 Test wickets which in itself is a big achievement. His experience could have been utilised. - Subhash Gupte on Anil Kumble.

West Indies are obviously worried. They have dropped a bowler after just one game. - Sourav Ganguly after the West Indies announced their team for the Barbados Test.

From the first time I saw Sachin in the nets I knew he would one day be the greatest batsman in the world. I also had no doubt that he would equal Bradman's record of 29 Test centuries. The timing too was ideal, reaching his 29th century just days before his 29th birthday. On his birthday, I wish him many, many more hundreds. - Ramakant Achrekar wishing his most famous disciple Sachin Tendulkar.
