Cricket Quote by Moeen Ali

“I have been told in the past that's my downfall but I'd rather be too nice to be honest. I set out in cricket to make friends. I'd rather people say they enjoyed playing with him and he's a good guy, not he's a good player but a bit of a so and so.” quote by Moeen Ali — Download Open image
