“It is not difficult to come up with a long list of cricketers who like...” — Jonathan Agnew Quote

“It is not difficult to come up with a long list of cricketers who like to have a good time - from the village green to the Test arena, it is a sociable sport.”

“There is no other job in major sport like a cricket captain. It is a huge job.”

“Usually a captain will allow his bowler to set the field, while exercising overall control and maintaining the authority to step in if he sees fit.”

“The old player in me can certainly sympathise with how your targets change because you simply do not know what is around the corner.”

“When you are captain at the same time, that's when it gets difficult and when your own game starts to decay because you have other worries and pressures.”

“Test cricket is about respecting the opposition, the conditions and the circumstances.”

“With an arena, it sounds so big and full sometimes it can obstruct the way we sing because we're hearing so much slapback and things like that.”

“Money is not a measure of a man's character or success in the arena of public service.”

“I have found that the more I honored others, the more they honored me and the more fulfilling my career became. In the business arena, I have been surrounded by people with awesome skills. The difference between good and great is determined by the mindset you choose to bring to the work. The concept of honor should be part of that mindset.”

“I think it's one of the secret sauces to our success, if you will, is that our fans are a part of our show. They engage, they chant, they cheer, they boo. There's a problem when they don't react. So, in essence, every live event is like a focus group. So we are getting that real-time feedback from them in the arena.”

“I think that passion is the secret ingredient that drives hard work and excellence. My passion is to serve the public: to be in the arena of public policy, to have the opportunity to solve problems for our country, to be in a position where I can make a difference.”
