A Quote by Stuart Broad

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.

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

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

Ravichandran Ashwin

I love winning, I love playing to win. You need some of that to be a bowler. You need to have a hatred for the batsman to make sure you have that real fire to perform.

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

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

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

It is important as a bowler that you always need to have a presence. If you lose that you lose quite a bit, a big part of your armoury. It comes naturally with me, and at times it is a huge advantage. I don't want to lose it. I want to keep getting wickets.

Stuart Broad

I love the game, but I'm not going to play the game for the rest of my life, so you need something else you're good at, another passion. You have to be well-rounded, or else you're going to burn out, and you'll lose passion for what you're doing.

Willie Cauley-Stein

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.

Ravi Shastri

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

Wasim Akram

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

I have been an aggressive batsman since my school days, and I play my game as such.

Prithvi Shaw

There is nobody called Test bowler, one day bowler or T20 bowler. It just how you adapt and make a difference to your own game.

Sourav Ganguly

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

Stuart Broad

If you've got one bowler - particularly a fast bowler - who is really aggressive, all over the opposition, he brings the rest of the team along with him.
