There are a lot of misconceptions that we can't play fast bowling or we can't bowl fast. We should have mixed matches. I have also played a lot of matches against boys because that's how we train.

Mithali Raj

What inspiration will other fast bowlers have if they don't have anybody to inspire them to become fast bowlers.

Dale Steyn

I've played at Rucker Park a couple of times. It's cold blooded. It's hype in there, real hype.

Baron Davis

The wickets I have played on for my whole career, most of them have been to suit fast bowlers in Australia.

Shane Warne

I have only played in two first-class matches with a pink ball and both of them were over inside two days.

Jofra Archer

I try to hit the ball along the ground, especially against fast bowlers. I also like the bat to come down in the right position and check if my body position is correct. If I'm really watching the ball carefully, then automatically I'm in a good position to hit it down the ground.

Virender Sehwag

Whenever you see Indian first class cricket on television, you see only a white wicket in a four-day game. And you have after five overs your spinners bowling from both ends on all four days. So how can you improve your cricket or your fast bowlers?

Wasim Akram

In bowlers' meetings we talk a lot about patience here in India. You need that more than anywhere in the world. Outfields are fast, pitches are slow, the ball gets soft. Bowlers are more crucial than batters.

Jofra Archer

The West Indies team I played for in the 1970s and 80s was truly blessed to have so many brilliant individuals in one group. We had many great fast bowlers but the deadliest was my fellow Antiguan Andy Roberts.

Viv Richards

The first couple days I didn't realize it that much, but when I look back, I'm just like, 'Wow, I play for Barcelona!' Because everything went so fast the first couple days.

Sergino Dest

I grew up on Avenue C, and Tompkins Square Park was my park. That was where I played ball every day. I lived in that park.

Ramon Rodriguez

My time at Real Madrid wasn't a failure. I played 120 matches, I scored 28 goals, and I played an average of 30 games a season. What's more, I won three trophies: La Liga, a Copa del Rey, and a Supercopa de Espana.

Kaka

'Sister Act' was my first audition out of school. I was 21 and cast as the understudy. It was non-Equity, so I lived in L.A. on $300 a week. I did that for a month and then came to New York to do a couple of gigs, including 'Hair' in the park, before going to London with 'Sister Act,' where I played the lead.

Patina Miller

I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up.

Jesse Owens

When I was a kid, my first dream was to play Test matches, and the second one was to play 100 Test matches because there are very few people who have played 100 Tests for India.

Virender Sehwag

It is a source of great pride to have played 100 matches for a club as prestigious as Real Madrid.
