游戏
Game
I know as a manager you have to abide by the chairman's decisions. But his decisions were this team, that team, this player, that player. The chairman is a control freak.
我知道作为经理,你必须遵守董事长的决定。但他的决定是这支球队,这支球队,这名球员,这名球员。董事长是个控制狂。
I know that I'm never as good or bad as any single performance. I've never believed my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
我知道我从来没有像任何一场表演那么好或差。我从不相信我的批评者或崇拜者,我总是能够离开赛场。
We knew that if we had to win the World Cup, the defensive side of the game had to be better, which means bowlers will have to bowl tight and we will have to field better.

I'm not a person or a selfish player, but we have to move the ball more, and we have to look further the team game, because we have enough talent to use different players.
我不是一个自私的球员,但我们必须更多地移动球,我们必须更长远地看待团队比赛,因为我们有足够的天赋来使用不同的球员。
All this improvement is great, but all that does is get us in the game to play for improvements that we need in the future, so that we can be aggressive in the marketplace.
所有这些改进都很好,但这只是让我们在游戏中参与到我们未来需要的改进中,这样我们就可以在市场上积极进取。
I played the tuba in high school. I wanted to be a member of the marching band. I thought, what can I play that has the most effect? What can I play to get people to laugh?

Every day some new fact comes to light - some new obstacle which threatens the gravest obstruction. I suppose this is the reason which makes the game so well worth playing.

Cricket is a game of the most terrifying stresses with more luck about it than any other game I know. They call it a team game, but in fact it is the loneliest game of all.

This is a game that's going to play as long as you're playing it. It's never going to end. It'll go until I retire, and when the next person has the job, they'll be on it too.
这是一个只要你在玩就会玩的游戏。它永远不会结束。它会一直持续到我退休,当下一个人得到这份工作时,他们也会参与其中。
