”I would like our batsmen to take a look at how he (Tendulkar) built an innings. He had a few close shaves to start with but once he got through the new ball, he upped the tempo of his innings and controlled the game beautifully,” Ricky Ponting, captain, Australia.

”You would be inhuman not to have a little bit of a hit with the confidence when you are not getting the results you are looking for,” Tim Nielsen, coach, Australia.

”Australia is a side which likes to keep other teams under pressure. So the best method is to keep them under pressure. Fortunately, they have been under pressure in this series and it will be good if we can keep it that way,” Mahendra Singh Dhoni, captain, Team India
