Andrew Miller:
"16.3 Stokes to Mahmudullah, no run, yeehah! That's the shot I play first up in the nets every week, three steps down the wicket, a wild swing with head to the skies, and no contact whatsoever"

Andrew Miller, Cricinfo: "Laurence: "This, from Macbeth, seems to me like a good summary of Pant's thought process while batting: 'Strange things I have in head, that will to hand, / Which must be acted, ere they may be scanned'.
