Cricket is not a rational sport in India, and we go overboard.
It's one of the greatest sporting environments you can be in, the first morning of an Ashes series. It's hard to explain, you can only really explain it when you're out there. It's awesome.
For me, growing up and watching Test cricket and absolutely loving it, that's been the pinnacle for me with cricket.
I don't watch cricket very much, but of course I enjoy whenever I see the sport, especially live, because of the energy in the stadium with the fans going crazy.
I play a lot of cricket. I just want to play, play, and play.
I rarely get the time to watch cricket as I am busy with recordings.
Since childhood, I have been a cricket fanatic.
I've played cricket seriously since I was eight years old, when I first played for the Essex under-11s. I can't just turn it off.
I love England and I love cricket.
I really got into the cricket and staying up late watching the World Cup.
I don't mind which wicket you play on - wet, dry, slow, or fast. I just want to play cricket.
I do enjoy cricket, but the game is over hyped.
You have to watch India in India truly to appreciate the pressure that Sachin Tendulkar is under every time he bats. Outside grounds, people wait until he goes in before paying to enter. They seem to want a wicket to fall even though it is their own side that will suffer.
I love sleeping and to inculcate the habit of early rising, my dad forced me to take up a sport. That was the only reason I started playing cricket in the first place. And thereafter it continued.
Since my childhood, I saw my elder brothers playing cricket and that is what built my passion around it. I was enrolled in school but all my attention was on cricket.
I come from a village, Changa Bangyaal. It is a very beautiful village. I am from a poor family. Right from the beginning, I always had a great deal of love for cricket.
It was a dream to have a team for the state. While playing for the Punjab King's XI, I used to think of having a team for Kerala.
I looked up to cricket players such as Imran Khan.
I don't mind a bit of cricket, but it has to be something massive like the Ashes.
My caddy today was a Scot and he told me that he was cheering for Australia, which I thought was a bit harsh. But generally I've been amazed at how many people have come up to me here in Scotland and said: 'I've never really watched cricket before, but I was hooked all summer.' It's great.
India buzzes for its players and that makes you feel special.
One of the reasons why you want to play cricket is to play in front of big crowds, and in India, it is the perfect place to do that. The atmosphere here is like no other place in the world. Having experienced it once, you want to keep coming back.
Cricket is not everything, not by any means, but it is a large part of who I am. Therefore, I want to play in all formats of the game and to play as much as possible because, before long, it will be over.
India is such an attack on your senses and is unrivalled for the passion surrounding cricket.
I love hitting those big sixes.
