“I usually tried to stay in the net for 45 minutes, half an hour longer...” — Geoffrey Boycott Quote

“I usually tried to stay in the net for 45 minutes, half an hour longer than most batsmen would stick at the county nets.

“I'd love to see pitches start very dry all over the world, which is good for batting but means there will be turn - a cricket match without spinners is like a chess match without two important pieces - a less interesting game.”

“Circumstances don't make a person; they reveal him or her.”

“In so far as such a theory is empirically correct it will also tell us what empirical facts it should be possible to observe in a given set of circumstances.”

“Life is rough for a lot of people. Some people live in greater material circumstances than others, but life is rough for everybody.”
