No matter what, I was always looking for a wicket. Whether I was bowling to restrict or bowling to get wickets, at the back of my mind, I always had the thought that I wanted the wicket.

Anil Kumble

I enjoy wicket-keeping in the shorter format. I think when we are bowling first, it gives me an idea of how the wicket is behaving.

K. L. Rahul

A lot of the lads have a bat for the nets, a bat for facing the bowling machine and a separate bat for the match. I'll just crack on with a bat until it breaks - then crack on with another one.

Andrew Flintoff

There are very rare occasions when you get a good wicket to bat on, but whatever wicket you get, you have to play at least 20 overs for your side.

Virender Sehwag

My main strength is my bowling, but where I bat, I can also contribute for the team, and that is important.

Shahid Afridi

Unless someone wants to look funny, I'll not recommend anyone to copy my bowling action. But on a serious note, with the confidence that I have got from the amount of runs I have been scoring, when I'm thrown the ball to bowl, I am pretty sure of what I have to do. I may not be the most attractive to watch while bowling, but I can be effective.

Virat Kohli

If you are playing on a turning wicket, toss plays an important role. The team that wins the toss gets an opportunity to play on the fresh wicket. You should always prepare the wicket as per team's strength. But a rank turner might backfire.

Kapil Dev

I like to play test cricket. It is really challenging, because you need to really score runs, stay in the wicket and continue for five days.

Kumar Sangakkara

As a bowling unit, you get a lot of confidence if the spinners and pacers are bowling as a team.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Not many days you get a nice, fast bowling wicket.

Jofra Archer

?Really, there are two types of people who go bowling. There are people who really, really love bowling. Then there are the people that are like: wouldn?t it be hysterical if we went bowling??

Jim Gaffigan

When you play for India, you get more confidence because of bowling at Chinnaswamy. A spinner is always worried about short boundaries, but having bowled here, I don't fear bowling anywhere.

Yuzvendra Chahal

If there is nothing in the wicket for spinners, then it's good to try something different. Over the wicket or around the wicket, just try and create chances.

Ravindra Jadeja

There are times I do single wicket bowling, and there are times I try, practise, hitting a specific length.

Vijay Shankar

When you think of the great eight-wicket bowling figures in Test history, the names of Michael Holding, Shane Warne and Stuart Broad spring to mind.

Jonathan Agnew

I loved playing at Lord's - I ended up with 26 wickets at 11.50 from three Tests there. Maybe the wicket, because of the slope, was perfect for my style of bowling.
