Quotable Quotes

  • "For such a long time, female cricketers have trained and played at the highest levels but took a financial hit to do so. From paying for a lot of their expenses to sacrificing earnings for time away from work, the cost has been significant to this point - and forced too many players to retire prematurely." Lisa Sthalekar
  • "These extra dollars will help strike a balance between the sacrifices required to reach the top levels and the rewards that come with this." Alex Blackwell (21/5/13)
  • "We are still working towards the day when Australia's female cricketers will be able to earn a full-time, professional living from cricket," James Sutherland (21/5/13)
  • "@#$%^%$#&^*%$#" Dave Warner (18/5/13)
  • "We need everyone going in the same direction and coming together as a team. That's as simple as it's going to get and the result in that is that we'll win the Ashes." Brad Haddin (24/4/13)
  • "As much as they all say 'Test cricket's the No. 1', a million dollars is very distracting," Mark Taylor (24/4/13)
  • "International cricket's long passed me by. I've tried to distance myself from watching too much international cricket since I retired." Ricky Ponting (20/3/13)
  • "Captaincy could be the best thing to happen to Watson." Ian Chappell (19/3/13)
  • "Australian cricket has a definite case of 'too many cooks spoil the broth.'" Ian Chappell (19/3/13)
  • "it feels there is some solidarity behind the team moving forward and we're excited by that unity and why it has been created." Ed Cowan, Australia's latest spinner (20/3/13)
  • "I don't think it will have any impact on my friendship with the four guys because I know I've got the respect of those guys and they know how much I respect them." Michael Clarke (12/3/13) That's positivism for you!
  • "News just in ... Mitchell Johnson now dropped for 4th Test for failing to eat his veggies." Peter Helliard (12/3/13)
  • "On a positive note Ed Cowans presentation has just been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize" Damien Fleming (12/3/13)
  • "'If you want feedback listen to Hendrix" Mark Butcher (12/3/13)
  • "Those four players unfortunately did not meet my requirements. That's a line-in-the-sand moment." Mickey Arthur with his bucket and spade (11/3/13)
  • "Screaming [at his team] won't really help. The next time they travelled to the subcontinent they will be better equipped to handle the conditions. I think it's a win-win situation for them. Just that they have to be a bit patient." MS Dhoni on Clarke (5/3/13)
  • "I think I have no choice. It's about trying to do what's best for the team, and I think now, especially in these conditions, I have to bat higher." Michael Clarke (5/3/13)
  • "Not only was she contributing on the field, but she was also contributing off the field to the success of Australian Cricket. Lisa will certainly be missed, but through her coaching and development work she's actually helping to fill the void that her retirement will leave." Julie Savage (18/2/13)
  • ""To finish my international career by playing in a successful Women's World Cup in the country of my birth is quite special for me," Lisa Sthalekar (18/2/13)
  • "My bowlers have allowed me to be aggressive. You need to keep the field up to create chances. That is my style and I am not going to change it too much." Jodie Fields (17/2/13)
