“Franchise cricket is here to stay because of the money.” — Alastair Cook Quote

“Franchise cricket is here to stay because of the money.”

“Without sounding arrogant, I achieved a lot more than I thought I would do.”

“The musical training taught me to focus my mind, before playing in an orchestra taught me how to truly concentrate. If you miss your moment in an orchestra, there is no forgiving.”

“I can't leave cricket. It is my passion.”

“I feel maybe at times I've just been a bit too desperate to do well, almost tried too hard. But even though I haven't contributed as I would have liked, I've still enjoyed the cricket just as much.”

“I support Leeds United, and like any fan, I dreamed of playing for them. I tried out at the club and also tried rugby and cricket, and triathlon didn't really become part of my life until I was 16 or 17 - but it was the sport I enjoyed most.”
