Quotes about one-day (16 Quotes)


    You need to do the little things in marriage to keep your marriage close and we always leave notes around the house for each other to let the other know that we love them. Sometimes I find a note on the window of my car left by Watts and it says 'I love you.' Valentine's (Day) is all the time for us it's not a one-day event. We just happened to get married on Valentine's Day because it is easier for Watts to remember his anniversary.


    Darren asked the selectors not to consider him for the tour of Pakistan for personal reasons and we respected his wishes. With Liam Plunkett and James Anderson performing well in Pakistan and Simon Jones now available for selection again, the selectors feel the priority is for these players to gain as much experience of one-day cricket as possible ahead of the World Cup.

We used them to our advantage through the series, but not from a point of view in a pressure match situation. It was more so from the balance of the team giving players more opportunities. In a tighter match situation we will be in a better situation to judge the new rules and regulations.


    He was the unsung hero in the one-day series against South Africa and Sri Lanka (in India late last year). Hopefully, he will enjoy the challenge here and bowl well.

    With Liam Plunkett and James Anderson performing well in Pakistan, and Simon Jones now available for selection again, the selectors feel the priority is for these players to gain as much experience of one-day cricket as possible ahead of the World Cup and as a result Darren misses out.

    I think the guys are all geared up. I think we understood where we all went wrong in Melbourne and we are working at it. We've got a couple of new faces, a new captain, and I think it is more of your natural ability comes out in the Test arena rather than the one-day arena.


    It's a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It's been passed down through the generations. It's the culture of the Australian team.
