QUOTE ME HAPPY


“There’s nothing I can do about it, I’m not a groundsman.” Ireland v Samoa Rugby World Cup pitch sparks reaction from referee Nick Berry.


“Where I’m from there are some things girls shouldn’t do, but my family always supported me. My father had an idea to cut my hair short to trick people into thinking I was a boy. After that, I would train with the boys and that’s really helped me play the way I play today.” Shafali Verma spoke of her journey to become the youngest Indian women’s cricket player to score an international fifty.


“Most of these groundsmen are poorly paid and unmotivated; they are also susceptible to vices including tobacco and alcohol addiction. They need help and a better quality of life. If Indian cricket with all its riches cannot do this for its own groundsmen, nobody else will.” Vedam Jaishankar, First Cricket, India.

“He stopped the game twice and made a big fuss. There was an opportunity for both teams to have a quick restart but twice he intervened and had things to say to the players. So I said: “Why did you do that? Please don’t do that” and then I got it.” Jurgen Klopp revealed the exchange he shared with the referee before receiving a yellow card during Liverpool’s Champions League draw with Napoli.


“Whether it’s criticism or not, I’m using it as criticism to drive everything I’m doing on a day-to-day basis. Maybe it’s a bit of a warped mentality but when someone puts you down or whatever, you don’t always have to respond with words. My way of doing it is with actions.” Andy Murray speaks honestly during his documentary ‘Resurfacing’.


“Sometimes you get beaten, sometimes you get out, and you can’t be punching walls,” Aussie cricketer Mitchell Marsh missed the start of his country’s cricket season after breaking his hand punching an immovable object!


“He’s fine. He’s Joe Root. He is the England captain and there’s no one else to do it. That’s the main thing that counts for us as players in a very tight-knit group.” Ben Stokes is adamant Joe Root remains the right man to lead England’s Test team.
