"This is the best bowling combination I've worked with since becoming bowling coach" : Azhar Mahmood
"Our preparations are coming along very well"
"The players have good morale and we expect play a good game in the final"
"Amir bowled today and is fit but we haven't decided on the final XI yet"
"When Amir was unfit in last match, everyone thought we would be in trouble as we were missing our main strike bowler"
"But Rumman came in and proved everyone wrong so we have great bench strength"
"It's just a matter of self-belief and anyone can replace another"
"It's taken us six months to improve our bowlers (under my watch) and there is still things that can be improved"
"I had given them the same game plan before but the boys have taken on extra responsibility this time and done the job"
"The Oval pitch looks dry and this could be a high-scoring game"
"The warmer the weather is on Sunday, the better it will be for both sub-continental teams"
"We will play positive cricket in the final"
"We were criticized for our mistakes in the previous India game"
"The fact is that when you drop catches of Yuvi and Kohli then they can take the game away from you"
"There is no pressure on us, we will play this just like any other game"
"We had plans for Indian batsmen in the first game as well but we did not execute our plans well"
"We have to make sure we execute our plans and take those half-chances; if we do that, then the result will be in our favour"
"Hasan Ali is one of the best bowlers in the Pakistan line-up"
"Hasan Ali is a wicket-taker and he is coming into the middle period of the innings and taking wickets"
"Now we have an attacking option in the middle period and not just at the start of the innings"
"The Oval suits us better as the weather is warmer here than Cardiff/Edgbaston"
"We just have to play good cricket, regardless of win or loss"
"Indian have an upper hand in wins in ICC tournaments but this the time when we can change the trend"
"An India-Pakistan match is never a dull game and it's also an ICC tournament final"
"The team which can handle the pressure will win and our boys have nothing to lose so they will play well"
"Everyone is talking about India as favourite but I can tell you one thing that we will have a great game"
"It won't be a shock if we win the final based on the way we have beem playing our cricket recently"
"We are here to win this game and that's why we are here"
"India and Pakistan game is bigger than the Ashes"
"We want to change the unpredictable tag as it seems when we are good, we are very good and when we are bad, we are really bad!"
"Winning here will mean a lot as we have not been playing cricket at home and also we were 8th ranked in ODIs"
"If we can win the trophy, it will be a great gift to the nation and also great for this young side"
"Surrey is my second home and yes, one can say I have home advantage and I will advise the boys about what to do but in the end it is upto the bowlers to execute those plans"
"This is the best bowling combination I have worked with since becoming bowling coach of Pakistan"
"Amir bowled today but we haven't decided on final combo; Rumman Raees or Amir, it doesn't matter as long as Rumman is a quality bowler"
"Undoubtedly India have great group of batsmen but if we bowl according to our plans then we only need 10 good balls"
"When you go into the final, you want your best bowler to be fit; if he has any doubt, then he will come to us and let us know"
"We will definitely go with Amir if he is fully fit but if he is not then we have to move on"
"The reason bowlers are giving me credit is because I am friendly with them and have also been a bowler myself so I understand their problems"
"Sometimes I tell them to not make some of the mistakes I made whilst bowling"
"I tell them to bowl with the intent of taking a wicket and not worry about if someone like Kohli will hit you for a six"
"Hasan Ali is fully fit and fine; he just had a niggle in the calf but that is not a problem"
"Our preparations are coming along very well"

yeah nobody seems to remember burma's statements. Selective memory.
