Brian Lara famous quotes collection


"I woke up at 4am with my hands sweating and couldn't get back to sleep. I've been batting the innings since then, and now it's finished I'm very happy."
(on scoring 375 vs England, Antigua 1994)

"In the past I often reacted to what I perceived to be the stresses of cricket by getting away from it and hanging out with friends. Instead of confronting problems, I would turn my back on them. Now I've realised I want to give cricket 100%."

"You can't play a patience game with them. They take command and like to take command and if you let them, they will."
(Lara on how to beat Australia Cricket Team)

"Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal."
(Lara on Sachin)

"At this stage of his career it doesn't matter where Brian Lara bats. It's important that a guy stands up and wants to bat in that position. It's a pivotal position in any batting order and [Ramnaresh] Sarwan is one of the premier batsmen in our team. And if he puts up his hand and wants to do it, especially with low scores behind him, it shows a lot of character. And you're seeing the results of it all today."
(Lara during West Indies v India, 3rd Test, St Kitts, when he was asked why he didn't bat at No.3)

Famous quotes by Donald Bradman

Some of famous quotes from the Australian cricketer and the Cricket Legend Sir Donald Bradman


"I was never coached; I was never told how to hold a bat."

"If there is a threat to the game of cricket, that threat lies in the first class arena. One day cricket, especially day-night cricket, is here to stay."

Some of his sayings from his last interview in 1996

"Many cricketers who had more ability than I had, Why they didn't make more runs than I did, I don't know"

"Undoubtedly the best all-round cricketer I've ever set eyes on"
~ Sir Donald Bradman on West Indies' Gary Sobers

"The best thing that's happened to the game for many years"
~ Sir Donald Bradman on Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne

"Every ball went exactly where I wanted it to go until the ball that got me out"
~ On his 254 scored at Lord's

"I'm very sorry I made a duck, I'd have been glad if I'd made those four extra runs to have an average of 100. I didn't know it at the time and I don't think the Englishmen knew it either. I think if they had known it they may have been generous enough to let me get four"

"Of course that's rubbish. I was certainly emotional, but I wasn't that bad. But I was very sad walking out. I felt I'd let the people down"
~ Denying the question that he got out because of tears in his eyes

"Despite recent sad developments, cricket will survive and remain our most noble game and I shall always remain proud of the part I played in its history and development"
~ Bradman on match- fixing

"A good captain must be a fighter; confident but not arrogant, firm but not obstinate; able to take criticism without letting it unduly disturb him, for he is sure to get it - and unfairly, too,"

Viv Richards famous cricket quotes

Some of famous quotes from the West Indies cricket great Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards

"One day cricket is like fast food. No one wants to cook."

"I hope the Young West Indian players or today do realised the mantle on which they are standing"

"Man, it don't matter where you come in to bat, the score is still zero" (Viv Richards to Sunil Gavaskar at Madras 1983)

“This thing must stop and the authorities must treat this like someone with a nuclear bomb. If you have the fabric which is human civilization and human society being brought down because of color and race, to me, that is like a killer with a nuclear reactor in his hand.”

Greg Thomas was bowling to Viv Richards in a county game. Viv missed a superb outswinger, and Thomas said "It's red, round and weighs about 5 ounces. "Next ball Viv hits Greg Thomas out of the ground and replies, "Greg, you know what it looks like. Go ahead and find it !"
