A Quote by AB de Villiers

An IPL match may be decided when the ball passes inches beyond the grasp of a fielder on the boundary or when a direct hit catches a batsman inches short of the crease.

Home plate is 17 inches wide, but I ignore the middle 12 inches. I pitch to the two-and-a-half inches on each side.

Warren Spahn

The batsman does not always need to create big hits. He can hit a boundary, then pick up some singles and still gets nine runs. To avoid that, I need to plan in a way where he must look to hit wherever there is a fielder. That is what is called 'bowling to the field.'

Harbhajan Singh

I learned the hard way. When I started hitting home runs, I thought, I can hit these pitches. Then I started thinking, if I can do this, I can hit the pitch four inches outside or four inches up. I expanded the zone and got myself out. Pitchers are smart. If they find out they don't have to throw strikes, they won't.

Carlos Delgado

If you stick a knife nine inches into my back and pull it out three inches, that is not progress.

Malcolm X

Golf is a game of inches. The most important are the six inches between your ears.

Arnold Palmer

You don't stick a knife in a man's back nine inches and then pull it out six inches and say you're making progress.

Malcolm X

The pitcher wound up and he flang the ball at the batter. The batter swang and missed. The pitcher flang the ball again and this time the batter connected. He hit a high fly right to the center fielder. The center fielder was all set to catch the ball, but at the last minute his eyes were blound by the sun and he dropped it.

Dizzy Dean

When someone sticks a knife six inches into your back, and then pulls it out two inches and claims he's doing you a favor, don't believe him.

Malcolm X

Green synthetic practice mats are the worst thing for your golf game that I know of. You can hit six inches behind the ball and not even know it, because the ball still gets airborne. Practice nets are awful, too. Swing a weighted club instead.

Lee Trevino

I don't care who you are, you're going to choke in certain matches. You get to a point where your legs don't move and you can't take a deep breath. You start to hit the ball about a yard wide, instead of inches.

Arthur Ashe

How tall are you big boy? Six foot nine inches! Let's go up to my place and talk about the nine inches!

Mae West

I have no trouble with the twelve inches between my elbow and my palm. It's the seven inches between my ears that's bent.

Tug McGraw

I don't want a new ball when I am bowling in the subcontinent. I want an old ball that can't get hit out of the ground. I want a ball that when I bowl doesn't have true bounce, so that the batsman can't hit it.

Dale Steyn

What did I do in high school? I grew from 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 2 inches.

Gregory Peck

I feel, as a captain, that when you face a batsman who plays spin well you feel as if you are a fielder short.

Nasser Hussain

I've been slightly obsessed with paper and notebooks. Among my most precious possessions is a small light-blue, breviary-sized volume - four-and-a-half inches wide, seven inches tall - made by a company called Denbigh.
