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 2nd week
Every team suffers. But we play more cricket than any other team
in the world. So it is bound to happen.
- Sourav Ganguly, on injuries to main players.
The West Indies tour is India's best chance of winning abroad. If
they can't win now, they may have to wait for a long time before
tasting success away from home. - Ajit Wadekar
Lara is a special player. You get him out early, and the West
Indies team gets totally demoralised. You let him flourish, and
anything's possible. - Atul Wassan
Everyone knows his potential, and we hope that he does well.
- Ashish Nehra, on VVS Laxman.
The West Indies are going through a transition period, but still
they have names that can turn around cricket games on their own,
like (Brian) Lara and (Carl) Hooper - Sourav Ganguly
I think Sachin Tendulkar is going to get a hundred international
hundreds, which will be truly Bradmanesque. - John Wright
We can certainly produce a Shoaib Akhtar, but we need to produce
wickets that encourage bowlers like him.
- West Indies skipper Carl Hooper
It's important that the coach and the captain share the same
regard for discipline and work ethics. You can't have a
hardworking coach and a lazy captain or vice versa. - John Wright
I'm sure our batting will pick up as the tour progresses.
- Sourav Ganguly
