Nothing worse than walking out in a Test match and finding your hand slipping on the handle.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I can't pick up a pair of new gloves like Alec Stewart or Mike Atherton. I have to get them sweaty and loose, and put extra stuff on my gloves to protect the fingers.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I feel, as a captain, that when you face a batsman who plays spin well you feel as if you are a fielder short.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
If we are going to win games, we need 11 fit players. Sir Alex Ferguson does not pick half-fit players.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
If you are not 100 per cent, Virender Sehwag or Chris Cairns will destroy you.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
If a player sits out a tour, it is not a problem, because it is a chance to look at others.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
You have to try to move your feet and get to the pitch to hit the spinners away.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
You travel the world and you talk to people about Jos Buttler, and they rave about this lad. I don't like massive comments, but he'd have to be up there with the three or four greatest white-ball players of all time. You're talking Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, MS Dhoni, Viv Richards.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Sometimes you don't realise what you've got, because it's right in front of you.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
What you don't want from a player is to walk off and say 'that's the way I play.'
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I always used the media - if people were having a go I could use it as motivation to prove them wrong.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I believe we should come down very firmly on the guilty without infringing the civil liberties of the innocent, like publishing mobile phone bills.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I play hard and I play to win, and my team play for me because of the backing I show them.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
My philosophy is to respect the opposition off the field and play it as tough as possible on it.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
The Australians are a weird bunch - until the cricket starts they're really friendly, saying 'good luck' all the time, but the moment the cricket begins they have a real go at you.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Every player needs to be aware of the levels of fitness needed to play international cricket.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Being awarded the OBE was a great honour and something I had not been expecting.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
When I first came into the England one-day side and joined the selectors, I wanted to move away from picking what some people called the bits-and-pieces to the best batsmen and bowlers.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I'm not naive and realise it doesn't make good commentary or sell newspapers if you only say nice things, and the time does come when you have to say someone isn't good enough and has to go. But commentators like Richie Benaud have shown that criticism can be made in a constructive or humorous way.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I'm never going to have a Test average of 50 like Tendulkar. All I want to be is the best that I can be.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
It sounds sycophantic, but I don't think I have met anyone in cricket who gives so much to a team as Marcus Trescothick does to England.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
A captain has to be able to look a player in the eye before he starts his run-up or goes out to bat.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Edgbaston is a ground where you have to think on your feet because it can vary so much from season to season or session to session.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
There is nothing worse after a long car journey than to have to go to meetings.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
It was Test cricket as it should be played, when the irresistible force in Allan Donald met the immovable object in Mike Atherton at Trent Bridge in 1998. And I was happy to watch from the best seat in the house - at the other end.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Seems to me the rules are loaded against batsmen. If bowlers show dissent after a near miss they never seem to get punished.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Michael Atherton's powers of concentration never cease to amaze me. When you need reminding what Test-match batting is all about, who else would you have at the other end?
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
There is too much cricket being played. You need time away to get your mind in order to reach the optimum level.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
In every sport you need a break and England seem to be the only cricket country which doesn't get one.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
People shouldn't underplay what the breaking up of a team does in every department.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Everywhere in life people are in authority to make decisions and you have to abide by them, whether right or wrong.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Well, I've always prefered playing spin off the back foot because, to my mind, it takes short leg and silly point out of the equation.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
You are only given so much talent and it is up to you what you do with it.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Spinners are a funny breed. If they're playing on seaming pitches they moan and if they're about to play on real 'Bunsen burners' they reckon the pressure is on them.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting are anything but conventional, and you can't frown on Steve Waugh for playing his slog-sweep because it's so effective.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I like back-to-back Tests at the end of a series, without any county game in between. We know county cricket has no bearing on Test cricket.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
You have to think about ways of improving the helmet all the time, balancing protection with being able to move and see the ball.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
So for me Tendulkar is the greatest but Kohli is not far behind and could well end up as the greatest.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I think Kohli is magnificent in a run chase, I have to say. He has won so many matches for India.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Many Pakistani fans will say they have followed their team for too long and had their hearts broken many times, but I love them, and I love their cricket.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Sometimes when you're around a side you don't realise how good they are until you go away from home and they are a very fine team.
