Bowler Quotes - II

Bowler Quotes - II

1. It pumps me up - the whole idea of the bowler marking his run-up, popping at the crease, the crowd chanting, nerves building up. It's a very good feeling. Right from the first ball, I know I have to be at the top of my game. - Rohit Sharma

2. It's fine for a bowler to have a plan but I feel as a batter you need to have another plan to counteract what they're doing. - Ben Stokes

3. It doesn't matter which era you play in. Wickets are the only way you can contain. Restricting the batsmen to six runs in the first over may look okay but in the next over they will hammer the other bowler. Giving ten runs and taking a wicket - I'll take that any day. - Wasim Akram

4. In fact, as a spin bowler, you have to work on the batsman over after over. - Richie Benaud

5. I mean everyone's always spoken about fast bowlers and especially myself as a strike bowler, but I look at myself as somebody who could hold down the runs, you know, over 200 games, I've taken a lot of wickets but I've got a pretty decent economy rate. - Dale Steyn

6. As a new ball bowler, it's my job to stick to the basics. - Bhuvneshwar Kumar

7. New Zealand's Daniel Vettori is a very good bowler. - Sachin Tendulkar

8. Shoaib Akhtar has been playing for 5, 6 years and is an experienced bowler. - Sachin Tendulkar

10. Green wickets. That is why everybody wants to be a fast bowler instead of being a spinner or a batsman. - Wasim Akram

11. As a bowler, you have to constantly have to learn new things, and that's been my main aim all the time. - Jasprit Bumrah

12. From a spinner's perspective, in India it was never easy for me to judge where to stand: how far forward, how far back, because on Indian wickets the ball does not carry as much as abroad. That is true of slip fielding in general. I wouldn't say only for spinner - even for a fast bowler, that holds true. - Rahul Dravid.

It appears to me that if one wants to make progress in mathematics, one should study the masters and not the pupils. - Niels Henrik Abel.

Nothing is better than reading and gaining more and more knowledge - Stephen William Hawking.
