“Cricket is only 30 per cent physical and 70 per cent mental. South Africans train 120 per cent physically.”
― Boeta Dippenaar

Now, the sounded like a Yogi Berra quote, didn't it?

"Baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical."
- Yogi Berra

Baseball is just aim at the ball, swing as hard as you can and hope for the best.

The thread is meant for posting funny quotes from famous people, Diplo. Are you famous?

I miss Inzy's post-match interviews!

Rameez: So Inzy, disappointed with your performance today?
Inzy: Bismilla-e-rehman-e-rahim. Thank you allah.ya the indian batsman is play very good today. we is try very hard but is not win the game.

Rameez: Any words for Dhoni?
Inzy: Ya dhoni is play very well. He is hit his shot very hard in our gaps. In start, we is protect our gaps very well. the grass is also thick.. but dhoni is split our gaps with his bat.

Rameez: Another ordinary bowling performance?
Inzy: Ya our balls is loose. the bowler is went for many run. Asif is bowled well. Also, after some shots the ball is out of shape. umpire is not give another ball.. it is tough to play with one ball.

Rameez: Dropped catches.. did that prove costly?
Inzy: ya the ball is not stick to our hands. we is practice a lot sticking our bat in our hands.. but now we is more practice sticking balls in our hands.

Inzy rehearsed his statement for several days before post-match interview, but Greig surprised him.

Tony Greig: So Inzi, that's fantastic, your wife is pregnant for the second time and you must be happy!

Inzamam: All credit goes to the boys. Everyone worked hard for it, especially Afridi. It was tight situation when he went in. Also Bob Woolmer was keeping close watch on progress and giving instructions. It's all team effort. We all will work together as a team, put in big effort and deliver good result all the time and will be able to repeat the same result.

Cricket is the game which foolish plays and foolisher watches.

Digressing to baseball, here is the inimitable, Yogi Berra.

"Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting."

I recall Dravid saying something similar.
