“We know them. We anticipate another close match, a competitive match, which it usually is in this series.”
Bobby Bayliss
“We had a wonderful series with some close matches and good individual performances with bat and ball. It speaks well for what will hopefully be a good one day series.”
Vikram Solanki
“I guess they have had 16 years when they haven't even been close in an Ashes series but we have found some sections of the crowd to be scathing and harsh. That has not been overly enjoyable. We have seen a pretty ugly side in some supporters.”
Adam Gilchrist
“We've probably never been in this situation before, where we're going into the last match of a series having to win to draw the series. I can't remember that in a long time,”
Ricky Ponting
“We haven't been in a series before where we have to go into a final match needing to win to draw the series,”
“We want to win this series as well, we want to win two of the next three matches. Rain permitting, we will play our best eleven, though we will also rest some players and give those who haven't played a game yet a chance to show what they are capable of.”
Virender Sehwag
“It is not ideal to go into the last match with the series already decided, but a lot of ranking points are up for grabs.”
