It doesn't matter which era you play in. Wickets are the only way you can contain. Restricting the batsmen to six runs in the first over may look okay but in the next over they will hammer the other bowler. Giving ten runs and taking a wicket - I'll take that any day.

Wasim Akram

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

Between 50 overs and 20 overs, there is a big difference, because there is 30 extra overs of fielding and six extra overs to bowl, and that can take its toll.

Ravi Shastri

The new-ball bowlers usually bowl seven to eight overs before we spinners come into the attack, and the pressure they build on the batsmen with the new ball - they concede not more than 20-25 runs - helps us plan our line of attack as to where to bowl to maintain that pressure.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Any way I can produce runs and keep runs off the board for the other team, that's what I'm going to try to do.

Dan Uggla

What we have learned is that Roland-Jones is a very promising prospect. Because of the way he bowls, he will not blow batsmen away, but is more likely to take wickets through accuracy and building pressure.

Jonathan Agnew

You see teams buy a lot of batsmen for a lot of money because they are good batsmen. But you also need good bowlers to get them out or contain the runs.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

It doesn't matter how many runs one person puts together. We want to get partnerships and get 400 runs on the board. One person can't get 400 runs on the board if there is nobody at the other end.

Brian Lara

Obviously fitness matters and at a certain age batsmen get the knack, batsmen get an idea how to get runs and I think he got the idea about 2-3 years ago how to get runs, what sort of shots to play and reading the situation.

Wasim Akram

With the new ball, against any bowler, it's important to see off the first few overs.

K. L. Rahul

I don't care what other people say. The important pressure, you put on yourself. The pressure that others put on you? I ignore it.

Adolfo Cambiaso

If you go for wickets all the time, then you will go for runs as well because you will have to flight the ball and invite the batsmen to hit you.

Imran Tahir

Put a lot of paint & a wooden ball or other object on a board. Push to the other end of the board. Use this in a painting. - ruler on board.

Jasper Johns

If batsmen put up a good total on the board, then it gives the bowlers more confidence to bowl well.

Yuzvendra Chahal

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

I will go with my batting because India is a country full of batsmen and whoever scores runs is more famous, as the team is known for its batting.
