Bernard's [Leach] drawings delineated every little accent on the pot, every subtle curve and change of angle and proportion and all.

I would rather play with 10 men than wait for a player who is late for the bus.

Sehwag shall be remembered for his explosive and natural cricketing skills. Wish him all success on his birthday.
