[-said]: If you see the game, they bowled too short. Two (bowlers) went for a lot of runs. You do bowl loose deliveries but there are certain so loose that they would always go for a four or a six,

timesofindia 05-FEB-12

[-said]: He did a decent job for us. He was someone who was not consistently getting hit. There were a lot of edges which went to places where there were no fielders. The ball went to short fine leg and there wasn't anyone. The ball went to midwicket and there was no fielder. Overall he did a good job for us.

timesofindia 05-FEB-12

[-said]: We were doing well before rain. Once they (Australia) came back after the rain break, they went after our bowling. Our loose deliveries were too loose. That was the difference,

timesofindia 05-FEB-12

[ said]: It's not about (his) injury. Quite a few other players have niggles. If you want to make Rohit play, an experienced player can come and go out of the side. But for Rohit, it may be tough later, if he doesn't get going now, you could find him playing in tougher later-half without much practice. It's a long series,

antiguanews 05-FEB-12

[ said]: The fielding was exceptional. It will be hard to beat this effort. We are a side that relies a lot on a good start, not about the runs, a good, calm start is what we look for. Overall it was a good effort by the bowlers and equally by the top three batsmen,

antiguanews 31-JAN-12

antiguanews 31-JAN-12

irishsun 28-JAN-12

[-said]: They have played consistent cricket. Whenever a partnership was needed, their batsmen stepped up and put par-plus runs on the board. Their bowlers were also consistent. They always stepped up when needed,

irishsun 28-JAN-12

[ said]: We will have to wait and watch if there are changes. Our next Test series is only in September so we don't want to take decisions quickly. We have the ODI series coming up. It is a completely different side. It is a learning experience for the youngsters. Once you play 100-odd ODIs, it is always good to have that experience going into your Test debut,

arabtimes 15-JAN-12

[ said]: When you come to Australia, you look for pace and bounce, in England you look at swing and in the same way, when you come to sub-continent, you look at turn and bounce for spinners. It's just that we have not adapted to the conditions well,

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[-said]: It's only I who know whether I take it seriously or not. It is difficult for others to judge it. As for my graph as a batsman and as a captain, it does worry me. You are part of this side because of what you are. It's important to be in the present and think what needs to be done for the name of the country to go up. It hasn't happened in the last seven Tests that we have played outside.

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[ said]: We have not performed well throughout this series. In this particular Test, David Warner played really well and took the game away from us. We could only say that the batting made the difference. We could have scored enough runs in the second innings. The failure in the batting line-up is something that is hurting us,

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[-conceded]: Certainly, this is one of the worst phases where we have not done consistently well,

stabroeknews 15-JAN-12

[-said]: I feel every player needs to be managed in a separate way. There are certain players you need to get personal and go and explain to them and then there are some who have to be treated your way (give them a bullocking),

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[ said]: His bowling is going up and down. He hasn't been able to do that adjustment everytime. But he is bowling quick, he is getting good bounce. Luck has also played a huge role. He is beating batsmen, There are loads of time when he has beaten batsmen and not got edges. It's a matter of time when the luck would favour him,

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[-said]: Not really right now,

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[-said]: I would make it simple. Australia is playing very good cricket at this point of time. We are not playing to the kind of potential we have. That's why the result looks so different. Same was the case in England. A series looks interesting if both the sides look in good form or if both are in bad form.

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[-said]: Class is always there, they have the experience, it’s just in back-to-back series that we have failed,

stabroeknews 15-JAN-12

[-also said]: Ultimately, we know that most of our batsmen will perform in India because we have played in India. But we need to find ways of performing outside India. Definitely, it will be a good option to see the youngsters coming in. Of course, we are playing quite a few games in India, but we are playing some tough opposition like Australia and England. But yes, I think it will be a good exposure for them.

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[-told]: I need to blame myself because I am the leader of this side. Of course, I am the main culprit, so I blame myself,

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[-said]: Not really right now. Maybe at the end of the series will be a right time. We also have to see what the seniors’ thoughts are. I think there is a bit more emphasis right now about getting rid of the seniors, but it will be a very careful decision because of what they have done for the country, and the amount of experience they can share with the youngsters,

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[said:]: I won't like to answer something which has a big if and but attached to it. As of now there is nothing I know officially. I don't know where this came from. Unless Laxman comes and tells me about his future, I don't know whether it (retirement) is happening or not happening.

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[ conceded]: The Australian team is playing very good cricket at the moment and we're not playing to our potential,

japantimes 15-JAN-12

[-said]: As for dropping the legends of the game, it would be a process, not an event. I have not sat and thought over it. Everybody needs to be a part of it, players and BCCI at the same time. It's about taking right decisions. People went after Virat to be dropped and he batted really well in this Test,

deccanherald 15-JAN-12

[-added]: One or two bad innings, it can happen in Test cricket, but overall, the seven test matches, this is a bit too long for the batting line up to flop,

[ said]: If you see all the three players we have got, if they don't score a 100 or 50, we feel they haven't score runs. If you see last couple of series, they haven't done well but it's to their averages and amount of runs they have scored they have not done well. They must be feeling the pressure but it's very common to them. Throughout their career they have faced that kind of pressure,

It’s not personal interest. What I want is an individual, who if he is taking my place, he should have played at least close to 60 to 100 ODIs before he goes into the World Cup. It’s what my personal thinking is,

I definitely feel that Dhoni does not enjoy Test cricket.

So they got a really competitive total, but I am very delighted the way we chased it,

Dravid [-said]: If the laws of the games are strictly adhered to, he probably was out. But in the spirit of the game it didn't think right. (Skipper Mahendra Singh) Dhoni and the team felt the right thing to do was to ask him to bat again,
