Gerard Way
“Thanks to them [the wicket takers] and my other team-mates for their efforts in getting to the final. Obviously we didn't win but I'm very proud of them.”
Sourav Ganguly
“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].”
