A Quote by Glenn McGrath

To win Test matches consistently you've got to take 20 wickets - yes, you've got to score runs but if you can't bowl a team out it doesn't matter how many runs you score.

I just go out there and try to do what I am paid to do, which is score runs and take wickets.

Ben Stokes

When I grew up, I tried to score off every ball, be it a 10-over-match, a 20-over, or even a Test match. If I stay in the wicket for, say, about 30 minutes, I want to make the most of it and score maximum runs possible. You never know when you get out; try to score as much possible before that.

Virender Sehwag

Before you lay a foundation on the cricket field, there should be a solid foundation in your heart and you start building on that. After that as you start playing more and more matches, you learn how to score runs and how to take wickets.

Sachin Tendulkar

It really doesn't matter honestly to look at the scoreboard where it's 20 runs and 2 wickets down or 200 runs, 2 wickets down, because... if you're positive inside it really doesn't matter. It just requires different planning sometimes.

Sachin Tendulkar

Being an impatient guy, even off the field, I would always look to score runs and score them quickly. Sometimes I panic if runs are not coming.

Gautam Gambhir

If you play 100-odd Test matches, there's going to be little periods when you don't score runs, and I've always managed to turn it around.

Alastair Cook

Everyone has technical flaws - no matter how many runs you score.

Alastair Cook

I got to have more of those type of games where I'm just engaged. It doesn't matter the score or how many points I score.

Pascal Siakam

I always want to be known as a good Test cricketer. I believe I have the ability to score big runs in the longer format. For that, I know I have to score heavily in whatever opportunities I get.

Suresh Raina

We won't necessarily sledge so much but we do have that attitude of 'They're not going to score the runs, we're going to take the wickets.'

Isa Guha

It is a great feeling of course to have scored so many runs, but that is what I play cricket for: to score lots of runs.

Suresh Raina

It is frustrating when you go all that way, you train, and you just don't turn up. It does happen. If you play 100-odd Test matches, there's going to be little periods when you don't score the runs.

Alastair Cook

You score runs to win games. That's how you do it.
