“I didn't see whether he took his eye off the ball or not, whether there was a couple other (fielders) in the mix, maybe he kind of alligator-armed it a little bit, but he went a long way for it and...he normally catches that ball. Ninety-nine out of a hundred times he catches that ball, but I'm not going to dwell on that.”
Gary Kendall
“We had a couple of left fielders go down and (Ryan) Strauss stepped in. Hopefully McArdle can do the same thing. I know he is ready to play first base. There is no doubt about that. Defensively, he's gotten so much better. (At the plate) he can really put a charge in the baseball.”
Ryne Malone
“We know what kind of defensive center fielder Chris Duffy is. To get him going offensively, it's not going to do us a lot of good, eight games in, to keep going back and forth.”
Jim Tracy
“The fielders who took the catches, the bowlers who put pressure from the other end and the batsmen who scored the runs without which it was not possible to have come this far.”
Anil Kumble
“I would like to thank all the fielders who took the catches, bowlers who kept up the pressure from the other end and batsmen of the team who put up those big totals on the board.”
“I dedicate it to all the cricketers I have played with and who have supported me, the fielders who took the catches, bowlers who kept the pressure from the other end and batsmen who have got the runs to make it possible for me to take wickets.”
“This is going to be a [bombshell] in Venezuela. I have to explain to everybody. I'm not a center fielder anymore. I'm a third baseman. I cannot look ridiculous in front of a million people trying to catch a fly ball and [have] it go over me.”
