Quotes “The teams are pretty closely ranked at No. 3 and No. 4. India have been playing really well, but our home conditions suit us. So it’s going to be a pretty close series. I’d like to think we can win the series but I also know we will have to play some of our best cricket for that.” Vettori on the eve of the first one-dayer
“We are confident about each and every game. Even if we had won the last game, it wouldn’t have made a difference. We have to keep repeating the good work in every game of cricket.” Dhoni says India are confident despite the defeats in the Twenty20 internationals
