I think we are going to see exciting cricket all the way. We are watching the two best teams in the world-and I think England will eventually go on to pip Australia by a single Test. ↗

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

One afternoon when I was 9, my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test, a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun - especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan. ↗

Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background. ↗

Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport. ↗

I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself. ↗

Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to. ↗

If one man is representing India in cricket, then yes, blame that person when things go wrong. ↗

My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important. ↗

Schools across India do not have teachers, libraries, playing grounds and even toilets. I do not want to see empty classrooms, empty libraries. I do not want to see cattle grazing on fields meant to be cricket or football grounds. ↗
