Adrian Lewis Quotes

As cricketers we fail all the time. You score a hundred every now and again but you get out between nought and 20 far more often. If you get 50, you feel bad because you should have got a hundred. Even if you get a hundred, you feel you should have got 150. So you're always failing.

Confidence is a huge thing in this league.

If I played a bad game, there's gonna be people out there that want to try to bring me down. But I always stay up.

Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

I never got caught up in playing for history, seeing how many majors I could win, or rewriting the record books. Those are selfish objectives, and the guy who chokes usually does so because he dwells on what it all means to him. I was only worried about my family. And although I had my share of failures, it was never because I choked.

I don't think anybody should do what they do in hopes of being successful. But I always expect myself to be successful at things. And if I'm not, I feel bad. I don't care for failure. I've failed at a number of things, and it's not my favorite state of mind. So I prefer success.

I've always had a loud mouth, and for that I've gotten a lot of attention. I did falter in some big competitions in my career, but being counted out and not being seen as a threat is something I'm used to.

A lot of guys who have never choked have never been in the position to do so.

I don't think you're going to be a success in anything if you think about losing, whether it's in sports or in politics.

I had a lot of negative comments, but it made me stronger and made me want to do more in my game. It made me more determined if anything.

Sport can change so quickly where confidence is such a big factor.

My weakness is hitting it straight under pressure.

It is important when you are losing to come back and not get beat.

I always talk about, like, with end-of-game situations, making and missing big shots, I know I can shoulder that. I can live with having the success of the playoffs and having a huge failure. I know I can deal with it.

I like pressure, the boos didn't mean nothing to me.

I feel that I can make certain shots, tough shots, and that I can play better when things aren't going well.

I think I play better when people say keep showing us what you've got, keep showing us. And whatever's going to get me to play at a high level is what I want to do.

When shots are going for six and you're playing well, everyone is trying to big you up. Mis=hit one, get out, all the negative people come out.

Teams go on runs. We have to be able to withstand a run and not get down on ourselves.

You will get criticism throughout your career. All the best players have had it at some stage, and they haven't let it ruin their careers. I won't, either.

I've had times when layups didn't go in, you start second-guessing yourself. It's how you come at it and how you react to it.

Ups and downs will be happening; coming to the final and losing by a point or so should not matter.

If you score runs against an international attack, the self-belief automatically increases.

I'm confident in myself. It's not a case of I've missed a penalty, and I'm down.

I'm not worried about any added pressure. I'm just worried about winning.
