Shaun Pollock (SA skipper, left, after his side’s seven-wkt loss to Western Province in a practice game): It wasn't very good at all. Hopefully it's the sort of performance we have got out of our system.
Glenn McGrath (Aussie bowler outlines his team’s plans): After having to win the hard way in 1999, our goal in 2003 is to go through the tournament undefeated, something I believe this team can do.
Martin Snedden (NZ cricket chief on the deadlock in Kenya): I have more optimism today than yesterday. A fine is total speculation. There is no provision in the World Cup agreement specifying levels of fines.
Jacques Kallis (right): We have had plenty of opportunities. It is about time we came right and produced the results.
