On team tactics for the game
Again, we won't decide anything until tomorrow. We've got some strategies planned. What happens with the weather is not in my hands. But if the sun comes out, we should get a good game. It looks a good track.
On whether the rain had affected preparations
We're all professionals, and one day's lack of practice won't make a difference. We've been playing cricket for a long time, and are mentally prepared.
On what tactics might be in a rain-curtailed game
We'd be happy to have 50 overs, but if that's not the case, we'll have to think and decide accordingly.
On Sachin Tendulkar becoming the most-capped player in the history of ODI cricket
He's a champion, both on and off the field. He deserves it because he's worked so hard.
On whether another slow-and-low turner could be expected
We can play in all conditions. We're prepared to play anywhere.
On whether there has been a momentum shift after Bangalore
I don't like thinking in such terms. The teams are level, and well-matched. I don't think results on a day will depend on past performances.
On Harbhajan Singh
He's been a matchwinner for us, and has been doing a great job in the middle overs.
