Indian Cricket Sayings

#1. My best wishes are with Indian cricket in general. I wish each one of our cricketers success at the international and domestic level.

Kapil Dev

#2. He's very competitive and knows what he wants. He has developed toughness in character and that is what is needed for Indian cricket. Ganguly has proved to be one of the best captains. He has now acquired great leadership qualities.

Steve Waugh

#3. Selectors can't please everyone, but I am OK if they are working for the benefit of Indian cricket. It's an administrative decision to appoint a selection committee, and I would like to let them do their job.

Kapil Dev

#4. A great competitor, and someone who I think Indian cricket owes a lot to,

Ricky Ponting

#5. Sourav has got a huge role to play in Indian cricket and its success. I hope certainly that he gets back in there because he is a hell of a good player and he still has got too much to offer to Indian cricket.

Allan Donald

#6. Conflict of interest and lack of transparency, though they are global features as we saw post-Iraq, almost define Indian cricket.

Harsha Bhogle

#7. Respect Dhoni's decision to quit. We should respect his incredible contribution to Indian cricket. Can't measure in words. Probably his quitting came one Test early.

Sunil Gavaskar

#8. I don't really focus on these things - on what tags are given to me or what people think of me off the field - stuff like that. My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.

Virat Kohli

#9. Virat Kohli is the PRINCE of Indian cricket.

Ian Chappell

#10. Dhoni has been an outstanding captain. His record as captain is simply terrific. He has done wonders to Indian cricket.

Sourav Ganguly

#11. The best thing about Sachin Tendulkar is that he's completely rooted, down to earth, and a thorough gentleman. He's probably the best thing to have happened to Indian cricket and maybe Indian sport as a whole.

Sania Mirza

#12. The risk is, as ever, that the hyperbole of IPL will simply smother the cricket; perhaps the members of the IPL's cheer squad should stop listening to each other and start listening to themselves.

Gideon Haigh

#13. I'd tell you what happened, but I can't remember all of it. And I don't wanna put words in my dreams thoughts.

Crystal Woods

#14. The Baby Boom has spawned an even bigger Grandma Boom. For every baby born, two women turn into grandmas.

Mary Margaret McBride

#15. The assumption now is that the interests of the brand and of the game overlap to the degree that cricket need hardly be mentioned.

Gideon Haigh

#16. The first time I ever saw people of any color was when D-Day left from my hometown in England, to go and free Europe from the war. And there was every color you could imagine, and I'd not seen that in England.

Richard Dawson

#17. One time I laughed so hard, I just had to go and change my pantyhose. I lost it. Lost it. At least it wasn't onstage.

Anne Meara

#18. Fools live to regret their words, wise men to regret their silence.

Will Henry

#19. The IPL, involving the socialist principle of a salary cap and the protectionist mechanism of quotas, is not perhaps the best example of a market left flourishingly to its own devices and dynamics.

Gideon Haigh

#20. I will keep playing domestic cricket. I feel I am good enough to get back into the Indian team, and playing domestic cricket is the only way out. So I will keep playing.

Sourav Ganguly

#21. I was lucky in my early years to play for a Karnataka team that was trying to forge itself into a strong side, and they were years of fun and learning. In the Indian team, I was fortunate to be part of a wonderful era when India played some of its finest cricket at home and abroad.

Rahul Dravid

#22. The book of your revolution sits in the pit of your belly, young Indian. Crap it out, and read. Instead of which, they're all sitting in front of color TVs and watching cricket and shampoo advertisements.

Aravind Adiga

#23. Far from marking the end of nationalism, the IPL is the ultimate triumph of that principle: a global tournament in which the same nation always wins.

Gideon Haigh

#24. I dress for myself because when I feel good, it doesn't matter what other people say. I think it's all about confidence and the way you carry yourself that draws people to you.
