Stuart Broad Quotes

As a fast bowler if you're not going to bowl well on a Perth wicket you're going to struggle in Australia.

The one thing you can't do is get carried away with that pace and bounce. There's a temptation to charge in and just slam the ball into the pitch and you can end up bowling too short. You still have to bowl the right length so that you threaten to take wickets.

I always love challenges, and when I bowl, I always look to get wickets.

I never look to contain. I always try and take wickets.

I mean everyone's always spoken about fast bowlers and especially myself as a strike bowler, but I look at myself as somebody who could hold down the runs, you know, over 200 games, I've taken a lot of wickets but I've got a pretty decent economy rate.

With my bowling, I didn't know how I was doing it, so when it went wrong I didn't know how to fix it.

I like to take wickets and see wickets and chances and I think in T20 cricket you have to risk a boundary to take a wicket.

If you bowl well early in the innings, it is also important to finish well.

If there is someone who is able to swing the ball, I believe I have it in me to swing it a bit more than the other bowlers.

If you go for wickets all the time, then you will go for runs as well because you will have to flight the ball and invite the batsmen to hit you.

I'd much rather win in three or four sets than go the distance all the time; I seem to put everyone through the wringer quite a bit.

In fact, as a spin bowler, you have to work on the batsman over after over.

I used to hate any batsman who would not get out in my deliveries.

I used to prepare in advance on how the bowler is going to bowl, whether is he going to bowl an outswinger or an inswinger? I used to watch the videos of the bowler and used to prepare in advance.

Being a swing bowler, bowling at the death is just an added facet in my bowling.

Great fast bowlers don't have to worry about whether the track is flat or green. They'll find a way to get wickets.

As a bowler I think I am more wicket-based than some.

Bowling on English pitches is not rocket science. If you bowl a good length on off stump, the ball just has to do a fraction, up or down or side to side, and you get someone out.

The way I am bowling at the death, it's all thanks to the IPL.

I guess bowling is pretty mechanical. It's kind of a natural motion, but you have to stick within those mechanics.

The thing I've got to concentrate on for South Africa is bowling at good pace and if the ball is in the right area that will cause enough trouble.

I don't bowl at 140 kmph or 150 kmph, so my best chance of getting the batsmen out is by bowling in the right areas and getting it to swing.

I have been bowling at the death sometimes. You need to focus. You know if you miss your target, you will go for a boundary, but it's also good because it makes you a really good bowler. You practise hard, and you try to bowl in one area most of the time.

As a bowler, there are times when you do not get wickets, and you don't have the numbers to show against your name. But never has the thought crossed my mind that I am not a confident bowler and the wickets are not coming my way.

When I bowled to batters like Michael Vaughan or Jacques Kallis who were classical, technically perfect, sound batters, I always found that I could get them out.
