Overs Quotes

If you're playing Test cricket you could bowl 20 overs in a day. I could play about five T20s in that space.

My role is to play out the full overs.

I don't bowl to hit people; I bowl to get wickets.

As a team, you try to win - you try to push in as many overs you can - but that's how it's played.

When I was growing up, we would play a 10-over or 15-over game, and the asking-rate would always be high, and I would end up scoring 30 or 40 runs in 15 balls, so I built that mindset right from the beginning and still continue to bat in the same manner.

Fifty overs is a long time. It's a good challenge, and you have enough time to show your skills.

I love playing five days of cricket; personally, I think it's the best format.

In T20, there's a time shortage because you've got four overs. In one-day cricket, you relax, and the game goes long, and you only win the game in the last 10 or 15 overs.

We have to understand that the five-day format has its own uncertainties, unlike ODIs or T20s. In ODIs, you know that you have to field for 50 overs only, while in Test cricket, there may be a situation that a team might bat for one-and-a-half to two days.

Cricket is very simple... you play till you can sustain.
