You can win it in the late innings if you never quit.
In my opinion, the best setup guys now have a tougher job than the closers. They pitch more innings, inherit more runners.
My father - until the day that my dad died - didn't know how many points you scored in a touchdown. He could say there were nine innings in baseball, but no intricacies of the sport.
Like an author, a cricketer signs his name on every innings he bats or bowls in; indeed for every cricket ball that challenges him on the field.
I think I rushed and I needed more time with my comeback. I needed more time to get my legs stronger to be able to handle the workload. You can only train for that by pitching innings. You can't simulate pitching off a mound in a game inside a weight room.
The Nationals tried hard to recover the lost ground. The final result, however, was the success of the Forest Citys by a score of 29 to 23 in a nine innings game, twice interrupted by rain.
In my long innings, I have seen many sunrises and many sunsets; many good and bad times.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
In sport, there is always room for improvement. Whenever I see my innings against the West Indies or Australia, I think, 'Maybe, I could have done this better or should have changed that.' See, cricket is a skill game, and one can always improve upon the impact one has on an innings.
Cricketers are made to feel that they are very special. That is okay as long as cricketers realise they are only as good as their last innings.
