Famous quotes with Cricketers

  • When I was playing the game we never had the benefit of TV or video to analyse our techniques or look at faults, we depended on other cricketers to watch us and then tell us what they thought we were doing wrong.
    Geoffrey Boycott
  • Once again our cricketers have flattered to deceive in Australia.
    Ted Dexter
  • It's a fun day, a day which kicks off the start of our tour, it's got great tradition - Australian cricketers just love tradition - and it's been a really pleasant day.
    Matthew Hayden
  • They've started this filthy floodlit cricket with cricketers wearing tin hats and advertisements for contraceptives on their boots.

  • At any rate, it would detract sadly from the richness of the game if deduction of character from a player's style was a forbidden pursuit, for undoubtedly the main reason why cricketers are remembered for years, for decades, after the heroes of other sports are forgotten is that they set the impress of character, apart from technical batting or bowling, on the minds of those who watched them, and whether that cricket-character falsely represented the real man is, in the last analysis, unimportant.
    Dudley Carew
