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.

May 4th week

We just need one good partnership in the morning. I'm very confident we will get at least 350-400. - Harbhajan Singh at the end of day two of the fifth Test.

It's my first century in front of my home crowd. I'm very pleased. -West Indies opener Wavell Hinds after his century in the Jamaica Test

He showed a lot of character in Antigua to score 65 and then came here in front of his own people and got a hundred. Congratulations to him. -West Indies skipper Carl Hooper praising Hinds.

I feel that you are not at all enjoying your batting. It seems you have the pressure on your shoulders as well as at the back of your mind. Why increase the pressure on yourself? Just go out there and enjoy your game. - West Indian great Viv Richards advice to Tendulkar

I think I would have had a bowl as well. I guess they wanted to make use of the conditions just like we would have done. - West Indies skipper Carl Hooper on Sourav Ganguly's decision to have a bowl at Jamaica.

He (Tendulkar) is very solid and he's certainly got a better technique than Sunil Gavaskar, who has all those record centuries. - former Indian wicket-keeper Farookh Engineer on Sachin Tendulkar.

Yes, at least in the first match he (Dravid) will be standing behind the stumps. We just want to see what he can do there. - Indian coach John Wright confirming that Dravid would keep wickets in the first one-dayer.

We will have to take it as the first Test of the series, forget about out past successes and play as though it's the only Test of the series. Pressure will be on both teams - perhaps a bit more on the West Indies, as playing at home always adds pressure. - Sourav Ganguly ahead of the Jamaica Test.

The fracture will take three weeks to heal, but there would be no problem in his return to the game in two weeks. - Dr Kishore Nayak, the surgeon who fixed Anil Kumble's fractured jaw.
