My batting mentality is to see the ball and hit it. I don't know what bowlers see while batting.

Smriti Mandhana

When you are playing Under-17 or U-19, the captain is of the same age as the rest of us. His knowledge was also as limited as the other players, so there was greater responsibility on the bowlers to understand themselves and their bowling, read the pitch, and set fields accordingly.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Earn trust, earn trust, earn trust. Then you can worry about the rest.

Seth Godin

The Oval has always been a good batting track, and there's not much for the bowlers.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

I have always liked to attack the bowlers, and batting is all about getting runs.

K. L. Rahul

When I first became captain the job was new and refreshing and didn't affect my batting. I was still in the same mental pattern I had had for 10 years; batting came first and captaincy fitted in with that.

Nasser Hussain

We must never take the public's trust for granted - our predecessors worked hard to earn it, and it is our responsibility to continually earn that trust.

Sally Yates

The Indian bowlers picked me for sledging when I was batting well. They called me school boy. But I was enjoying it and I had answered it with my bat.

Mushfiqur Rahim

When you know that batting will be tough, that the ball might move around and your technique will be tested, you have to make sure that you don't give the bowlers any more advantages.

I just try and earn my right to get on top of the bowlers, and that is how I play every game.

AB de Villiers

The president has to have the trust, earn the trust, maintain the trust of people in order to lead. And there's nothing that will lose it quicker than a sense that he's in it for a quick buck.

Mark Shields

I had a .200 lifetime batting average in the major leagues, which tied me with another sports great averaging 200 or better for a ten-year period: Don Carter, one of our top bowlers.

Bob Uecker

By the time I made my international debut Tendulkar was already being counted among the best batsmen in the world. Most bowlers knew that his was the crucial wicket in an Indian batting line-up that boasted of many talented batsmen.

Glenn McGrath

Opening the batting in Test cricket, facing up to fast bowlers looking to do their worst with a new, hard ball is incredibly tough. You have to be brave, single-minded and prepared to work very, very hard.

I'm expecting big things from our bowlers, from Peter Siddle, who plays the enforcer role, Stuart Clark, Mitchell Johnson and Brett Lee when he gets fit again. In batting, there's Phil Hughes, whose already done well for Australia and scored hundreds for Middlesex.

Glenn McGrath

A lot of the emphasis on international bowlers is on their pace and Australia coach Darren Lehmann is a big fan of bowlers who can bowl 90mph-plus.
