Quotable Quotes

  • "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)

  • "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)

  • "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)

  • ""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)
