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

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

From the bowler's point of view, if I look at a batsman, I don't see his shots, I see his defence. If a player has a strong defence, he is a very good player.

Wasim Akram

I have always seen myself more as a batsman than a bowler.

Steve Smith

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

Ben Chilwell

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

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

Ravichandran Ashwin

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.

Glenn McGrath

A bowler is his own captain. I know what needs to be done, what the ball is doing. If you don't know where you are going to bowl and where you think the batsman will hit, then how can you tell the captain what you want? You are the judge.

Harbhajan Singh

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

Gautam Gambhir

I can be indecisive about things - and the less important something is, the more indecisive I am.

Ben Miller

If you are the top bowler in your team, you need to get the top batsman in the opposition. So it is expected and people just highlight that particular bit and make it sound like it is gamesmanship.

Anil Kumble

It's going to get harder and harder to find guys who will play for ten years in all formats of the game, and whoever does it, good luck to him - he'll be a great batsman or bowler.
