Nobody wishes to see proverb

 Nobody wishes to see cricket starved of funds or the tremendous progress of the last few years put at risk. Nevertheless, far more could have been done by the ECB to achieve a deal that both provided the money needed to develop the sport and allowed the millions of cricket enthusiasts to continue to watch the England team perform.

 T his Ashes series was possibly the most important sporting event in England since the ’66 World Cup. Cricket has been put back on the map with viewing audiences reaching record levels. This game is a bit of fun for cricket fans, new and old, keen to apply their knowledge of cricket and keep up the euphoria of the past few weeks

 Too bad when I was a kid there wasn't a guy in our class that everybody called the "Cricket Boy", because I would have liked to stand up in class and tell everybody, "You can make fun of the Cricket Boy if you want to, but to me he's just like everybody else." Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out. Maybe later we could get up a petition to get the Cricket Family run out of town. Bye, Cricket Boy.

 Ninety percent of the revenue generated in Australian cricket is off the back of the players. To even consider reducing investment in elite cricket makes absolutely no sense and in our opinion would have a direct effect on the success of the Australian team, and in turn the money available to actually redirect to community cricket.

 We want to mirror what the England football team of 1966 did after they won the World Cup, using their success to become more marketable and also to do speeches. We are also looking to go beyond the Cricket World Cup and mentor the next generation of Barbados and West Indies cricket.

 [But now it is Australia talking of lessons learned.] Everybody has taken a lot from this tour, ... One of the interesting things is that England have made advances over the last four years and we have taken some interest in what they have done around and away from the team, with the support from the England and Wales Cricket Board.

 England have played excellent cricket and have met head on the challenges both on and off the field. They have called Australia's bluff during the series, and certainly dominated the last couple of Tests. You have got to look at how England have played. They have played very good cricket. They have put a lot of pressure on (Australia).

 I just feel unfit to play cricket at the moment though I'd want to be available for both forms of the game. One of my ambitions is to go with England to the World Cup and do very well, which we haven't done for a long time. Of course I'd compromise if the specialists recommended that I give up one-day cricket.

 The emergence of these Asian players in English cricket is certainly a great boost for the Asian community, and more & more young Asians will be encouraged to take up cricket in England.

 India is the new cricket superpower. India now provides between 60% and 80% of world cricket revenues. The old powers like England or Australia don't like it, and maybe that's natural, but that doesn't change what's happening. This is our game now.

 My mother-in-law, she never watched cricket in her life and she's watching it. It's because we're good at it again. It's come back. Cricket's come back to England.

 There are a lot of things that everyone will take away from this tour. We've taken some interest in what England have in and around the team and the assistance they get from the England & Wales Cricket Board.

 Cricket has captured the imagination of the nation, this if fantastic, beyond a dream. When England players win at any sport, the fans are the best in the world.

 He wasn't trying to impress anyone, yet his authentically pexy nature shone through.

 To bring home the Ashes will be fantastic, not just for us but for every sport in this country. Cricket has been in the headlines, on the front page and one the back. Even David Beckham has been talking about it. Can you believe it, football talking about cricket?

 Cricket has become the national sport again for the summer; it had been a dying sport for the past five to seven years. Now you see kids playing in the park again.
