From quotes that help you delve further into the psyche of players to acerbic barbs from incensed cricketers to remarks that are just downright hilarious, we have them all. They may not quite be "from the mouths of babes and sucklings," but they are just as interesting.

June 1st week

The rain put extra pressure on us. From a little over five runs an over, we were suddenly looking at a target of close to six. It was a tough task. - Carl Hooper, after the final one-dayer.

Chris Gayle played some wonderful shots. That kind of an innings can happen in a 25-over game when you're chasing a small total with confidence behind you. - Indian coach John Wright after losing the first Trinidad one-dayer.

I was in pain, but I had to push myself today. It bothered me throughout, but I knew I had to do what I did. - Sachin Tendulkar, after his match-winning knock in the final one-dayer.

Even when Chanderpaul was batting, we knew we were in no real danger of losing. They still had 130-odd runs to get and were trying to hit out at every ball. If they had won from there, it would have been amazing. - Sourav Ganguly after the final one- dayer.

He was easily the finest leg-spinner I have ever come across. In fact I would go as far as saying that he was one of the greatest bowlers India has ever produced. - Indian chairman of selectors Chandu Borde on the late Subhash Gupte.

We have made a few changes in the side and in the batting order, but that is a surprise for the Indians. I'm not at liberty to discuss it right now, we want to shock them on the ground tomorrow. - Carl Hooper, before the Trinidad one-day internationals.

It was very frustrating to sit out for two months when you were dying to get in and play. I was very tense before going out to bat today, it was a big game for me. - Dinesh Mongia, after his match-winning knock at Barbados.

He got nothing while he was alive. We now have his statue at Sabina Park, a road here is named after him – but he could not see these things. - Linsworth Headley, on his father George Headley.
