“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.”
Clive Lloyd
“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
“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
“We've got a major tournament in India, a major tournament in the West Indies, and the VB Series in Australia so we have to evolve a bowling attack that can win in three different continents.”
John Bracewell
“They had a sustained fast-bowling attack that I haven't experienced since probably 1993 against the West Indies,”
Justin Langer
“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
“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.”
