What makes ‘Cricket’ the way it is (In a Nutshell)

“Cricket, like all sport, offers glory to few and a lifetime of it to even fewer. For the investment it demands, it offers short careers that end when people in other professions are starting to flourish.”- Harsha Bhogle (Indian- Cricket Commentator)
What makes ‘Cricket’ the way it is (Nitty Gritty)
“I think we judge talent wrong. Who do we see as talent? I think I have made the same mistake myself. We judge talent by people’s ability to strike a cricket ball. The sweetness, the timing. That’s the only thing we see as talent. Things like determination, courage, discipline, temperament, these are also talent.”- Rahul Dravid (Indian- Cricketer)

“My memories of Australian cricket are that it was an environment of good fun.”- Tom Moody (Australian- Cricketer)
