Why cricket is the greatest of all games

No other sport compares in terms of the number of skills displayed, and the blend of subtlety, entertainment,

sudden thrill and sustained intellectual interest on offer

Twenty-two yard theatre: a good Test match is the equal of a five-act masterpiece of the stage

Ian McDonald

If I had been given the choice by some benevolent God

between winning Wimbledon and

hitting a match-winning century at Lord's for West Indies,

I always knew which I would have chosen

It is like the difference between lust and love.

There is, it is true, the temporary excitement of a passionate one-night stand.

But who can doubt that the more mature, the more beguiling, the longer-lasting love affair

provides the more challenging and the deeper experience ?
