“If you'd be wealthy, think of saving, more than of getting: The Indies have not made Spain rich, because her Outgoes equal her Incomes.”
Benjamin Franklin
“If the riches of the Indies, or the crowns of all the kingdom of Europe, were laid at my feet in exchange for my love of reading, I would spurn them all.”
Francois FTNelon
“I was hoping to get picked on the West Indies senior team but I'm not sure what is that outcome. I'm going to England pretty soon on a contract to play up there or [I am hoping] to play in the 'A' team if I get selected later on in the year.”
Richard Kelly
“We know what the West Indies are capable of. We are not looking at the rankings. The object is to develop what we think will be a good unit in the future.”
Andy Pycroft
“The team the West Indies picked was fairly light on with their batting and we knew that if we made some early in-roads that we might be able to go through them reasonably quickly.”
Ricky Ponting
“Jamaica is a very experienced side. They have a few West Indies players. It is going to be a very competitive game. We are looking forward to the challenge, and we are looking for an outright win.”
Ryan Hinds
“Like in the Packer era, West Indies cricket at its very best has been undervalued and its players underpaid. Like Packer, Stanford is a visionary putting money where his mouth is.”
