A Quote by Jofra Archer

Obviously in T20, variations are important whereas bowling lots of slower balls in a Test isn't going to help anyone.

With Test cricket, it's very important that you are bowling at high speed but T20 cricket is a great way to be versatile.

Dale Steyn

There has definitely been an improvement in my bowling in terms of pace and variations like the slower ball and knuckle-ball. To add to that, I have improved fitness-wise.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

T20 is such a format that finishes quickly, and you only have four overs. If there are three bad balls in one over, you will go for runs, and your whole analysis suffers. The team is on back foot because of three balls. So each and every ball becomes very important. It makes the bowler think.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

If you are going to raise youngsters for Test cricket that don't have the experience, you can't stick them into T20. You've got to teach them first how to play Test cricket, and when they're good enough for Test cricket and if they want to play both formats, then they can.

Garfield Sobers

Test cricket is still important, so are ODIs, but T20 should be there too because of the crowd factor.

Brian Lara

If you look at cricket per se, if you didn't have T20 cricket, Test cricket will die. People don't realise. You just play Test cricket, and don't play one-day cricket and T20 cricket, and speak to me after 10 years. The economics will just not allow the game to survive.

Ravi Shastri

T20 cricket is all about using variations, and timing has to be perfect.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

I'm happy when I'm juggling, but I feel like I've gone from, like, 3 balls to 10 bowling balls. But, that's a good problem. I don't really have a complaint about that.

Kirstie Alley

In T20, even when you are in form and you feel like you are making good contributions, you are going to only face 30 or maximum 40 balls in the position where I bat in the middle order.

Jos Buttler

In T20, batsmen are always going after you, so a good policy is to bowl five-six dot balls in your first two-three overs so that pressure builds on the batsman, and he plays riskier shots.

Imran Tahir

As to adding variations to my white ball bowling, ever since I started playing IPL, I realised you need variations. You can't survive on line and length. You need coaches around you who can guide you to get there. I have been lucky that I have had seniors and coaches who have helped me get there.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

People complain about too much T20. But the only recognised T20 in Europe is the Blast so if we are going to grow the game outside the U.K. it has to be everywhere.

Eoin Morgan

[Andy Murray] tries to get you to do a lot of different things. He tries to throw you off by giving you some slower balls and some harder balls.

Milos Raonic

If you go running, you put on sneakers. When you go bowling, you take your personal bowling balls with you. In much the same fashion, it won't be long before you have your special sunglasses to take to the movie theater.

Jeffrey Katzenberg

I think sometimes you have to handle things delicately at work or at home. You know, you can find yourself in situations that are like opening a closet filled with bowling balls that are going to fall out of it, but if you handle things graciously, then that's not going to happen.
