“I think it's a wicket the batsmen would like to roll up and keep, but the bowlers would like to bury.”
Graeme Smith
“It was one those bad days for them [the wicket takers]. I think they bowled a bit too short, but all credit to them. They bowled splendidly well throughout the tournament [the World Cup].”
Sourav Ganguly
“The fast bowlers showed there was enough movement in the air and enough movement in the wicket to encourage them and Ricky to keep them going,”
John Buchanan
“It's good to have your destiny in your own hands, and I think the wicket is at its best now for batting. We've got through the new ball, obviously with our best batsman (Brad Hodge) still to come.”
Cameron White
“The wicket was dead for bowlers and there was nothing in it for them.”
Shahid Afridi
“I'm the master of the wicket!”
Gerard Way
“It was a seaming wicket, plenty of moisture there. We take the game plan in of playing two spinners, obviously hoping to bat first and have them bowling on day five.”
