“You've got to be a bit of a gambler to be a successful captain.”

“The captain is the man who is responsible for the spirit of the side.”

“I think I was born 20 years too early. My brand of cricket would have been more appreciated in the modern era.”

“I don't think I had a philosophy. I had a belief in my own abilities and I was determined to direct my own fate.”

“I always felt that the best way to defend was to attack.”

“A cricket tour in Australia would be a most delightful period in one's life if one was deaf, dumb and blind.”
