Brett Lee (Downplaying the speed race with Shoaib): The 160 (km/h) thing doesn't really worry me, I'd much rather take wickets. If it was to be broken I'd be very impressed but it's not on top on my Christmas list right now.
Ali Bacher (Still putting up a brave front): I'm as confident as I can be that cricket will take over on Sunday. It's time for the politicians and administrators, myself included, to take a back seat.
Jacques Kallis: My foot is fine. I can't wait to get out onto the Newlands turf for that first match against the Windies. There are so many guys in our team who can turn a match around very quickly.
Mike Proctor: If India can get their confidence back after playing New Zealand, they will be dangerous. They can chase down huge targets and , their bowling is better than most think.
