A cricketer's life is a life of splendid freedom, healthy effort, endless variety, and delightful good fellowship.
W.G. Grace

It always surprises me that some people think a world cricketer should give 100 per cent of his effort and concentration every minute he is playing cricket, and then not relax and enjoy himself after. They seem to have strange ideas about how curfews and conferences and controls should fill his time between play. But if a cricketer does not learn early in his life which things do him good and which are bad for his cricket, and for him, then he does not belong in a world-class team.
Sir Garfield Sobers

It does not always follow that a player's behaviour on the field is a true index of his character off it.

It is not altogether an advantage when a side becomes heavily dependent on one man, however gifted. If he succeeds, heinspires his fellows beyond their normal abilities; but if he fails, he is apt to depress them far below what they can really do.
Alan Gibson

A chance, as a coach, to take a team to the World Cup finals is probably as high up the tree as it gets, certainly with one-day cricket.

A cricket ground is a flat piece of earth with some buildings around it.
Richie Benaud

Cricket is a pressure game, and when it comes to an India-Pakistan match the pressure is doubled.

Cricket is basically baseball on valium.
Robin Williams

Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool, but I don't understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago, but I didn't understand what they were talking about.
Jim Jarmusch

Cricket needs brightening up a bit. My solution is to let the players drink at the beginning of the game, not after. It always works in our picnic matches.

Down the mine I dreamed of cricket; I bowled imaginery balls in the dark; I sent the stumps spinning and heard them rattling in the tunnels. No mishap was going to stop me from bowling in the real game, especially this one.
Harold Larwood

During my 21 years of playing cricket, I have never been approached by anyone or offered a bribe.
Imran Khan

Endless cricket, like endless anything else, simply grinds you down.

Hitting a baseball well, as in cricket, is a very rare skill. One of most difficult things to do in the world to do, hitting a ball coming at you at ninety miles an hour with a round bat. Wonderful to watch.
Peter Tork

I can remember running around at the age of 3, wanting to play golf, cricket and football. I was always active, one way or another, driving my parents mad.
Ian Botham

Frank Woolley

I do love cricket - it's so very English.
Sarah Bernhardt
