“I have been saying for a long time that bowlers come in packs. When you have a senior bowler in the pack, he can guide the young bowlers in pressure situations by talking with them.”

“As long as I have been playing internationally as a cricketer, no-one has ever come up to me, nor mentioned anything to me, nor offered me anything when it comes as regards these open flowing but stupid allegations of fixing matches etc.”

“From the bowler's point of view, if I look at a batsman, I don't see his shots, I see his defence. If a player has a strong defence, he is a very good player.”

“If you win one or two matches at home on good wickets, on grassy wickets, you'll develop confidence automatically.”

“Green wickets. That is why everybody wants to be a fast bowler instead of being a spinner or a batsman.”

“It's things that you find difficult as a bowler in matches that you have to practise more. Some people don't, they just think line and length and forget about other things.”

“I headed out to have a breather at the stage door, dressed in my tramp costume. I had my bowler hat between my feet and there were passers-by, and one of them turned back and said, 'Do you need help, brother?' And $1 fell into my hat!”

“When a bowler bowls with the crowd support behind him, it naturally raises one's morale.”

“I don't think any bowler can trouble me much.”

“At one stage, I just wanted to play one Test for India. People used to say I was just a T20 bowler, a limited-overs bowler. All these tag lines were doing the rounds but I did want to make a difference.”

“You have to have a part of you like that as a bowler - that fire in you to keep going.”

“I won the glare with the bowler every time, because I knew that at some time he was going to have to turn around and go back to his mark.”
