'Even we Indians have followed this'

"This is a clear sign that the notion of fair play is still very important to those who love the game of cricket and we commend SLC on its commitment to that."
ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat is satisfied with Sri Lanka Cricket's decision to ban Suraj Randiv

"It was a pretty straight ball and there was no good reason for a seasoned keeper to miss it and concede four byes which levelled the scores. Yes, we have seen the best of fielders drop simple catches, so that miss can be explained too, but what happened after that does give reason to ponder whether it was a simple miss or whether something was amiss."
Sunil Gavaskar doesn't want the four byes at the start of the over to go by without scrutiny

"No team wants to allow a batsman to cross the century mark and all the teams in the world have succeeded on number of occasions in denying the batsman of a century. Even we Indians have followed this."
Former India batsman and selector Chandu Borde says there's nothing new about what happened on the field

"I didn't even know there was a no-ball rule like this. I will just be happy to get a hundred first and then worry about that."
Ross Taylor thanks his lucky stars it was Sehwag and not him

"If Virender Sehwag is good enough to make a century off a team's bowling then I don't believe it was in the right spirit for Suraj Randiv to deny him by deliberately bowling a no-ball. To me that means the batsman has won more than a victory; he has got into the psyche of the bowler."
Ian Chappell thinks Sehwag came off looking a stronger opponent in the incident

"Amidst all the moral hysteria and accusations flying about like witchcraft accusations in some medieval village, poor Randiv might have chosen to voluntarily put his head on the chopping block."
In the Hindu Nirmal Shekar says the situation has been blown out of proportion

"Hypothetically speaking if Sehwag plays a shot and a run-out occurs, then what happens? How do you say the match is over and the ball is dead? It was not dead when Sehwag hit a six."
Bapu Nadkarni, the former India left-arm spinner, raises questions about the no-ball rule that has confused many

"These days, no team appreciates an opponent's good knock or good work with the ball. The game is played like a war between the teams."
Syed Kirmani, the former India keeper, is not impressed by the modern attitude to sport
