If you ask me, a batsman has very few opportunities as compared to a bowler. A bowler knows, if he gets hit for a six or a boundary, he has another delivery left to get back and take a wicket. For a batsman, one loose shot, and you are out. A bowler will always have 24 opportunities.

Gautam Gambhir

Fast bowling is not an easy job. Especially if you are also a batsman as well as being a fast bowler, a fast bowler has to work harder than any other cricketer on his fitness.

Shahid Afridi

A bowler will always say it's a batsman's game.

Gautam Gambhir

I was an all-rounder but more of a batsman, maybe second-choice bowler.

Ben Chilwell

I know I'm a better bowler and create more chances if I get a batsman indecisive in defence.

Stuart Broad

You have to assume as a bowler that the batsman is going to hit every ball that he will face. That's where as a bowler you have to fancy your chances. If he is going to hit you, you can dismiss him. That is the confidence I give to my bowlers.

Wasim Akram

I have always said the most difficult batsman to bowl against is the man who is in form. You may have seen the best batsmen get out early when they are not in form, but an in-form batsman is difficult to dismiss.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

It's always frustrated me when I've seen other players able to smack balls over the bowler's head and stuff like that. I can't, though. When I've tried I've let myself down.

Andrew Strauss

As a bowler you need to keep an eye on what the batsman is trying to do till the last moment.

Wasim Akram

Whether you're a batsman, bowler, or an all-rounder, fitness is tough if you follow your regimen religiously.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Green wickets. That is why everybody wants to be a fast bowler instead of being a spinner or a batsman.

Wasim Akram

The bowler wants to win the game. The batsman needs to bat well to get runs. No question about it.

Ravichandran Ashwin

It's not that I consider myself as a batsman, I am a proper batsman.

Ravindra Jadeja

A bowler should be allowed to point out to an umpire that a batsman is backing up, leaving the officials to watch what is going on.

Jonathan Agnew

I don't want to lose any of that passion for the game; as a bowler I need to have that real desire to get the batsman out and be in their face and be aggressive.

Stuart Broad

The more you get a batsman out the more it becomes psychological. A batsman starts thinking about it and making something of it in his head.
