Notable quotes

“Of all the races in the Galaxy, only the English could possibly revive the memory of the most horrific wars ever to sunder the Universe and transform it into what I'm afraid is generally regarded as an incomprehensibly dull and pointless game.”
— Douglas Adams, Life the Universe and Everything (1982)
“I am quite certain that if the rest of the world vanished overnight and the development of cricket was left in Australian hands, within a generation the players would be wearing shorts and using the bats to hit each other. And the thing is, it would be a much better game for it.”
— Bill Bryson, Down Under (2000)
“Paraphrasing [Carl von] Clausewitz, it seems that in Pakistan cricket is now becoming [Islamic] religious propaganda by other means.”
— Massimo Introvigne, "Cricket and Religious Propaganda: An Unholy Alliance in Pakistan", Bitter Winter (November 18, 2023)
“It is this seminal simplicity of rhythm, expressed in its curious ritual form, that is at the heart of cricket's peculiar attraction. The tempo of the rhythm, against which all non-cricketers so persistently rail, provides the element of hypnotism necessary to the charm, like the tick of a grandfather clock in a quiet room.”
— Ronald Mason, Batsman's Paradise (1955), chapter 1.
“Sledgers try and put you off but the way I look at it, people who sledge probably aren't at the top of their game so they have to try and use underhand methods to put you off your stride.”
— Liam Plunkett - Durham & England fast bowler 2nd Nov 2006
“Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.”
— George Bernard Shaw, attributed in Colin Jarman, The Guinness Dictionary of Sports Quotations (1990).
