Hats off to Anil Kumble

[S.Balaji]

Indeed its a big achievement for an Indian....

Anil has reached 500 wickets at an impressiive strike rate of almost 5 wickets per match which is equvalent to a century for a batsman

Often a bowler's performance goes unnoticed as cricket is basically a batsman oriented sport....

but Anil's achievement is appreciable .....

A very intelligent bowler....

Despite the criticism heaped on him like... .he is not a spinner etc etc, he went on in relentless pursuit of targetting his wickets....

and has succeeded

Hats off

[S.Balaji]

After a long time, Murali played against India in India and did reasonably well...
He is being treated with all respect by our topline batsmen including little master Tendulkar and wall Dravid....

When Murali played first in the 90s, he was smashed for several sixes by SIxer SIdhu !!

Ofcouse, when we toured twice to Srilanka, Murali was successful in his ground

[umaramesh]

Kumble was successful against Austrlia(last year indian tour)also.
Very sad that he was overlooked for last world cup final. He told this during Mohali test . HATS OFF TO KUMBLE.

KUMBLE NEVER THROWS. NEVER REPORTED BY UMPIRE

hehe

[S.Balaji]

WHen it comes to suspectful action, even Chandrasekhar was questioned several times but those days, the technology was not that advanced and besides , chucking was not the focal point........

Whatever said and done, I feel that Murali is able to extract more turn due to his peculiar action and this takes away some credit from his stellar performance...

Indeed a great bowler but he is another Asian whose record may not get that respect compared to Shane Warne

[Sanguine Sridhar]

Worlds most under rated but a terrific bowler,Very polite but aggressive cricketer, Good human being.Clean records..No cheating, No chucking,No verbal exchange with the opponents!! Kumble is a gem..He deserves more 8-)

[S.Balaji]

Kumble's recent performance down under will speak volumes of his dedication and persistence towards achieving his target...

a very focussed guy...

he plotted the dismissal of every aussie down under ..meticulously and achieved success

a very thinking bowler

[captain]

[captain]

KUMBLE NEVER THROWS. NEVER REPORTED BY UMPIRE

hehe

so is Kumble better? :? :? :?

does Murali throw? can you prove it?

The whole world knows that Murali's action is not legit... The only reason it has been accepted is because they say its a birth-defect..
The truth is that he's able to extract unbelievable turn even on a flat surface ( a cement track) is because of his action... The fact is that HC murali fans are not ready to accept it... If you compare warne vs kumble, I will agree 200% that warne is better...

[captain]

Only Sarwan's action is legal while the rest throw the ball.
It's simple to say he's able to extract unbelievable turn but we are not sure that's the reason; it could be really hard, who knows.
According to the law, he's legal or else he won't be bowling now. People don't rate a player according to their physical appearance or anything. If so we can't really rate a hayden or symonds or Flintoff because they are monsters. Whatever they do a six is a six.

[Sanguine Sridhar]

This is pure Kumble thread where we are here to appreciate his efforts and skills and it is a big crap to compare Murali with Kumble. First of all Murali is an off-spinner and Kumble is Leg break/Googly kind of bowler. Deidicate something about Kumble here and i accept Murali is a very good bowler..So start a seperate thread Thanks :)

[asan]

guys see over the discussions made here about mohammad kaif the real star and the in consistency of indian batting in the last innings
