Looking backward we could almost see, suspended with the most delicate equipoise above the flat little island, the ghostly shapes of those twin orbs of the Empire, the cricket ball and the blackball.
Patrick Leigh Fermor
When I began to use my cricket, the first man I met in the darkness I thought was a German until he cricketed. We threw our arms around each other, and from that moment I knew we had won the war.
Gen Maxwell D. Taylor
Baseball and cricket are beautiful and highly stylized medieval war substitutes, chess made flesh, a mixture of proud chivalry and base - in both senses - greed
John Fowles
I tend to think that cricket is the greatest thing that God ever created on earth - certainly greater than sex, although sex isn`t too bad either
Harold Pinter
My brother is two years older than me and he was brilliant at everything, it seemed. He was captain of the cricket and rugby teams. We had this rather archaic system of head boys and prefects at my school. I was in my fourth year - in Scotland we finish s...

There is, of course, a world of difference between cricket and the movie business . . . I suppose doing a love scene with Raquel Welch roughly corresponds to scoring a century before lunch.
Oliver Reed
With just about every player in Australia, his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That`s why they`re playing first class cricket. It`s just a different attitude.

We have to be hopeful that things can improve. It is pretty embarrassing the state that West Indies cricket is in at the moment. We can`t put out our best team. At the end of the day, everybody is losing.
Brian Lara
We have to ask ourselves how serious we are about beating Australia, ... Everything in this English cricket series should centre on the main Test series. It doesn`t.
Darren Gough
To me, it doesn`t matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.
Ian Botham
They should start at the very top when assessing what went wrong in England. Cricket Australia executives, the coach, the manager, the captain and support staff must be all held accountable for this disaster.
