"It's the bowlers who win Tests and we all know that. I am convinced that India need to persist with the five-bowler theory in order to win more Test matches," Chappell told PTI shortly after the Indiam team's arrival here. Chappell said he expects his young fast bowlers to step up to the task and excel in Tests as well. "It's an opportunity for them to seize the moment and prove themselves in
demanding conditions."

"We're not thinking about the World Cup," Dravid stated emphatically in the pre-series press conference at the Taj Lands End in Mumbai. "We are looking to win this series and if we learn a few things along the way that can help us in the World Cup, well and good. We are keen to improve both as a Test and one-day side and it's important we keep our focus."

"I think it is unfortunate because we are all entertainers. The public would have loved to see Sachin," Lara told The Trinidad Guardian after a practice session at the Queen's Park Oval before his team's sixth ODI against Zimbabwe. "He's going to be here for the World Cup hopefully, but any opportunity to see him would have been great for the public."

Well thats an interesting point...A maestro missing the other one!
