To compare Olympic sport with cricket would not be fair. Years back, cricket was a sport only for the classes, and we will also have to make other sports masses from classes like cricket.

You have to see that cricket is developing as a sport because what's very important is you want cricket to be a global sport when it comes to participation.

Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.

Sachin Tendulkar

It is not true that the English invented cricket as a way of making all other human endeavors look interesting and lively; that was merely an unintended side effect... It is the only sport that incorporates meal breaks. It is the only sport that shares its name with an insect. It is the only sport in which spectators burn as many calories as players - more if they are moderately restless.

Bill Bryson

My favourite sport's cricket and one of the key things in cricket is to know when to declare.

Andrew Neil

Cricket is such a sport that you get to learn something from someone every day.

When I came to America in 1978, I was a huge sports fan - the problem was, my sport was cricket. Shockingly enough, no one wanted to talk cricket with me!

Indra Nooyi

Parents need to realise that cricket now offers a decent standard of living and earning potential, and not just for international cricketers. They need to stop thinking they are taking a huge gamble with their child's life if they let a child pursue sport as career.

Ravichandran Ashwin

In every sport you need a break and England seem to be the only cricket country which doesn't get one.

Nasser Hussain

The more cricket you play in your head, the less you perform on the field. So let cricket, the sport, be on the field.

K. L. Rahul

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

Ian Botham

We laud the women's cricket team when they win accolades, but when a regular girl enjoys watching cricket, the men look at her and start testing her knowledge about the sport.

Nushrat Bharucha

Every sport pretends to a literature, but people don't believe it of any other sport but their own.

Alistair Cooke

My biggest concern is that Test cricket and Twenty20 cricket are competing too much. They should be complementing each other and the more they clash the more damaging it will be for cricket.
