โThe way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they donโt play together, the club wonโt be worth a dime.โ
Michael Jordan
Iโve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. Iโve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times Iโve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. Iโve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Bruce Lee
I donโt fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks. I fear the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Ian Botham
To me, it doesnโt 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.
Brett Lee
I bowl my best when I am fittest and the best way to get fit is to bowl. Thatโs how you get your rhythm. You cannot really find a rhythm by bowling in the nets.
Muhammad Ali
I hated every minute of training, but I said, โDonโt Quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.
W G Grace
The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.
Mickey Mantle
Itโs unbelievable how much you donโt know about the game youโve been playing all your life.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.
Lionel, Lord Tennyson
Cricket, however, has more in it than mere efficiency. There is something called the spirit of cricket, which cannot be defined.
Mike Hussey
Test cricket is bloody hard work, especially when youโve got Sachin batting with what looks like a three-metre-wide bat.
John Arlott
Cricket is a most precarious profession; it is called a team game but, in fact, no one is so lonely as a batsman facing a bowler supported by ten fieldsmen and observed by two umpires to ensure that his error does not go unpunished.
W G Grace
Every cricketer knows that in the early stages of a batsmanโs innings i.e. before he gets his eye in โ luck plays an important part.
Sachin Tendulkar
I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground itโs a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.
Rahul Dravid
My approach to cricket has been reasonably simple: it was about giving everything to the team, it was about playing with dignity and it was about upholding the spirit of the game. I hope I have done some of that. I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying.
Michael Jordan
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I canโt accept not trying.
