"The
Test series is over. It's past and the Australians are a pretty good one-day
side. We have not played one-day game in the last six months. We have
to start from scratch. One-day is a different ball game." - Talking to
the reporters at Bangalore

"I
was obviously very disappointed that we could not pull of a win, but I
am certainly not unhappy with the side. I am proud of the fact that they
kept going till the very end and put 100 per cent into their pursuit of
a win." - The Aussie captain in his column
"I
think India did deserve to win especially after the way they came back
in Calcutta. It was a great achievement, and they repeated in Chennai."-
In his column on the Indian victory

"VVS
Laxman played ace Aussie leg-spinner Shane Warne better than anyone else
in the world." - The Indian coach quoted as saying to the PTI
"I
don't have a vision, it is not for me, but for the players, to have a
vision. That is the most important thing -- it is they who have to decide
what they want to do and achieve, and where they want to go. Once they
have a vision and spell it out, it is my job to help them achieve it,
if I can." - The Indian coach in an interview to the Rediff.com
"It
has given us a little bit of confidence, which is important. It has given
us self-belief. But I wouldn't get too excited about it. We should have
won a lot easier here." - On India's victory at Chennai

"I have pleasant memories of Bangalore since I got my highest test score
of 153 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium." - The stylist middle-order player
in his column in The Hindustan Times

it one at a time." - Quoted as saying in column in The Hindustan Times

"What
a match. What a Test series. It was gripping cricket all the way through
from the time the first ball was bowled to the moment Glenn McGrath bowled
almost the perfect final delivery." - In his column in The Statesman
"They
were beaten by a better team, but they never gave an inch and never stopped
trying." - On the Australian fightback at the Chennai Test in The Statesman
"Laxman
at the SCG was no fluke. I liked the way he played off the back foot and
I liked his footwork in Sydney - in the series just completed both aspects
were magnificent." - On VVS Laxman's batting
