Cricketers are made to feel that they are very special. That is okay as long as cricketers realise they are only as good as their last innings.
My best wishes are with Indian cricket in general. I wish each one of our cricketers success at the international and domestic level.
To be a commentator, you must have a life outside cricket, too. If cricket is all that you know, then you would not be a great commentator.
I am a kid who played university cricket, so to be around international cricket is a blessing.
When I came to America in 1978, I was a huge sports fan - the problem was, my sport was cricket. Shockingly enough, no one wanted to talk cricket with me!
Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.

Whatever good or bad is said by former cricketers is considered gospel. Our media should not blow out of proportion the opinion of former cricketers.
I'm completely cricketed out. If I never have to write another word about cricket again, I'll be a happy man.
Cricket is just something that I am good at, just like various people are good at various things. What's lucky is that cricket gets enormous publicity.

I am not the only intense or intellectual cricketer. I played with other cricketers who could be pretty intense and intellectual.
I've been a huge cricket fan since my teens, and I often used to go down to St. Helen's in Swansea in the summer. To me, it was like a 'rites of passage' experience to have the freedom of St. Helen's cricket ground.
By the time I was a young man, I lived with two deep struggles: I longed to become a cricketer, and I performed miserably in school. Cricket and tennis were all that I lived for. In India, this was a formula for failure.
