India's unsung hero Anil Kumble calls it a day!

[Movie Cop]

Indian cricket's unsung hero bids adieu to cricket rather unexpectedly on a low key note (so typical of the man himself) prior to the final Test in Nagpur! :(

[HonestRaj]

I am very sad for Kumble - THE REAL MATCH WINNER... for the way he was made to retire... atleast he shud hav retired after the 4th test with the trophy .... a consolation for his bowling contributions.

Anil Kumble :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

[HonestRaj]

Saurav Ganguly - Finished
Kumble - Finished

Next in line - Dravid .. his form is not convincing

Laxman ... appappo 50, 100 adichuduraru

Sachin "Thala" Tendulkar - missed another 50 today :hammer: .. unnai thookka evanachum irukkananu parthuduvoam.. u play until 2011 world cup :wink: Then we all lose interest in cricket 8-)

ohhhh Baratha Mathave.. oru Indhiya Kudimaganai ippadiya padhi series'il retire aaga veippadhu..... so sad... :(

[sivank]

I think Anil Kumble was very clever in announcing his retirement after this test. With an injured hand(even though not his bowling hand) again it would have been a big discussion to leave someone to include Harbhajan. Anyway jumbo would have been the expendable so he should have thought a lot about it and announced his retirement

[wrap07]

It is really sad to see him retire this way, forced by injury mainly and lack of form temporarily. Being a man of dignity, honesty, commitment and passion, he took his own decision though it may look forced. He was frank enough to admit that his body is not able to go through the grind of test cricket.

The Greatness of Kumble is exemplified by the immense respect of his team mates as also the opposition. During his long caree, he has played the game hard but never crossed the limits. A great Ambassador for the game and a role model and a legend :notworthy:

[Nerd]

Anil Kumble, take a bow. He was deadly in the 90s to say the least and this decision has come at the right time. His biggest achievement as a captain should be the perth victory. Biggest achievement in an ODI has to be the Hero cup victory. There are way too many incidents in tests, nothing can beat the tenner :bow:

ended his 18 long years of illustrious career, the outgoing India captain didn't forget the practice he has followed at his favouri
Kumble & Sachin
Anil Kumble is hugged by Sachin Tendulkar on the final day of the third Test match between India and Australia in New Delhi on Sunday, November 2, 2008. (AP Photo)
te venue Ferozeshah Kotla for the last nine years.

When Kumble came out to bowl for the last time on Sunday, Sachin Tendulkar walked up to him to take his cap and give it to the umpire. An emotional Kumble told him "one last time" to end the tradition that started in 1999 when the leg-spinner bagged a 'Perfect 10' in an innings against Pakistan.

In what started as a good-luck charm became a tradition which the two stalwarts always maintained whenever they played at the Kotla.

And on Sunday, it was indeed an emotional moment for the two, as Tendulkar took Kumble's cap one last time.

"Today when he took the cap, I said to him, 'one last time'. It all started here in 1999 when he took the cap from me and said you'll get a wicket this over. That continued till today but unfortunately I didn't get a wicket in the last hour," an emotional Kumble said as he bid adieu to international cricket.

His sudden decision took the cricketing fraternity by surprise and also nothing could have been arranged by the Indian cricket board to give a fitting farewell to a great cricketer, who showed extraordinary courage and commitment on the field.

A good Sunday crowd went numb when the two giant screens flashed a one-liner saying "Anil Kumble has decided to retire after this match and will not travel to Nagpur for the final Test," but soon raised slogans hailing Kumble.

But Kumble remained unmoved. Whether it was bowling with a broken jaw in 2002 or with 11 stitches on his little left finger, he has always been a fighter and lived up to it even in his last outing.

Kumble was given a huge standing ovation when he led the team for the last time on to the field in the second innings. His team mates cheered him and the Australians patted him.

When he came out to face the media sporting the faded India cap, he looked emotional and despite so many achievements over the years he stood with all humility.

"This cap means a lot to me. I've cherished this cap. It's a very proud privilege to have got this. I know how hard I had to fight to get this cap and how hard it is to play at the international level. It's a proud moment to represent a billion people whose expectations keep rising each time you go out there," he said.

"It's not easy to satisfy all those people who are watching. But I'd like to thank all those people for the affection they have showered on me and the Indian cricket team. There have been tough times and rough moments, we have given the fans some sad moments and sorrow, too, but we've also given them happiness."

Even on his last day on the field he tried to be a fighter, but felt that the energy has waned with time.

"I fought that, I took various painkillers and tried all sorts of things, but ultimately the injury to the hand said 'enough now.' It was the right time to move on," were his last few words sporting the India cap.

[directhit]

initially i was worried as to why he quit half way thru the series - but he had already decided to quit after this series :?. if not for the injury he cud have gone out with a winning series and cup - hope the bcci mgmt call him to nagpur when we lift the cup (hopefully)


Anil Kumble: It's a tough decision when you have played 18 years of cricket and been so competitive. But my body helped making the decision and also, this injury. I had already made the decision yesterday. Esp.. as I knew I won't be hundred percent for the next game. I had already decided to leave the game after this series any way.

He is a real champion, fighter. How can we forget the match in which despite of his broken jaw he bowled brilliantly and took the wicket of Lara. :clap:
His 10 wickets @ Kotla a decade ago, Hero cup victory and Perth test victory are :notworthy: He would have thought of a series win farewell but then due to his injury he was forced to take the decision immediately. Anyway right decision at the right time! :clap: :notworthy:

sachin and laxman might have scored good runs in the current ongoing series (yes I do see the scorecard often :D )

but there are many other players waiting to occupy their places, hmm...many might say they can't equal sachin, sourav, dravid, kumble and laxman. but the game is very demanding and newer players like Dhoni can handle the pressure well and do enjoy with a cool head.

so sachin plays well - but as many are waiting outside he must leave the team - point 1

second point - people waiting outside can handle pressure better than sachin

is it?

yes, sachin is capable of handling pressure and we have seen him in many games but the outcome of the result. we need to win major matches.

in my point of view, there are many younger players who are ready to play as a team to substantiate the pressure and win major matches in future.

sachin all alone took the pressure but he could have done better had he substantiated the pressure.

anyways my views might be wrong but the players under the able leadership of Dhoni are ready to conquer more heights.

There have always been many players waiting to occupy others' places in cricket. This is not something new. It is because those who are in the team score consistently that they retain their places (mostly) rather than pave the way for others who are waiting. Thats why SRT is still playing and Sujith Somasunder and Vijay Bharadwaj are not. This is not a fashion show to have a parade young men! There is someone waiting to replace Dhoni too - so, and chances are he is younger than Dhoni... so, Dhoni-a drop pannidalaama? EKSI
Let merit decide, not age. If any of them feel they aren't giving their best or if they start performing badly over a period of time, they will (have to) quit. unga wish will be answered then, not now.:)

Dhoni is a good captain, good batsman and now he is becoming good wicket-keeper also. what India needs is players with multi-role or multi-abilities.

Going by leosimha's logic,
players in the team should step out in the interest of the team because there are others waiting in the queue. And according to leo's vision, the players waiting outside will have better ability to handle pressure.So, ultimately,there will never be anyone in the team and it will be a constant state of people leaving to make way for people in the queue - phew! vicious cycle

we need an all-rounder at any cost.

and consistent bowlers who can take wickets at the same time bowl economically.

RECORD: Highest partnership for India for all wickets: 231 off 240 balls between Tendulkar and Sidhu. Previous best all wicket partnership: 188 between Shastri and Srikkanth for the 1st wicket against England in Cuttack, 1984-85. Previous best 2nd wicket partnership: 175 between Shastri and Manjrekar against South Africa in Delhi, 1991-92. This was also the only previous time when two Indians scored centuries in a ODI match.

see how sachin huffed and puffed his way to beat lara's record.

please note that I am not saying this because I hate sachin or for that matter I don't hate the Fab Five. but what I am trying to say is the dynamics of the game has changed dramatically and any player in the future should no longer look to break records but players should look forward to win matches.

Steve Waugh's and Clive Lloyd's captaincy were the best and they were determined and their main aim was to win each and every match.

Actually when Saurav was the captain of India, he was also aggressive enough to show his determination to win each and every match.

I sincerely admire Sachin for his batting prowess but that consistency is not there like before and he has worn out and torn out.

Okay hubbers, if you are the Captain of India, what do you expect out of Sachin or from the Fab Five.

[ajithfederer]

What do you mean by huffed and puffed. His only BAD series was in srilanka. What were you doing when he was blasting runs in england, home tour in pakistan and in australia. He was the leading run scorers there. I didnt see your posts here then one mediocre series and all you pundits are at it again. Have a look at this series for scores mate.

If you think sachin plays for records, Its just your assumption. welcome to planet earth.

Yes dynamics have changed. Why talk abt steve waugh , clive lloyd and others here ?. We aren't talking about captaincy here, are we? :huh:

Worn and torn out, :rotfl: again its your freakkkin opinion. :notworthy:

:notworthy:

I like the way crajkumar_be thinks and his brain works.

Agreed that we shouldn't rotate often but I do say that people can be rotated when playing with teams like Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Kenya etc. Experienced players could be rested and younger players can be given an international exposure.

I appreciate the way when Dhoni himself came forward and rested himself during the Sri Lanka test series.

[P_R]

any player in the future should no longer look to break records but players should look forward to win matches.

Don't you recall the the ODI tournament victory in Australia. It was easily the most important series win for us in the last few years. Credits largely go to Sachin. Don't you remember ? This is the 'traditional matchwinning'. Needless to say there are other instances of knocks where his contribution contributed to matchwinning.

Fact is, people feel Sachin has flopped if he has scoed anything less than a 'century'. 100 is just another number and dare I use the taboo word: record. But anything less than this record does not - pardon the pun - record in our memory. But when he does achieve it, he is accused of playing for records. Poor guy, he is in an unenviable state.

[leosimha]

feddy,

it is not only my opinion but it is the opinion of the majority India. :D

captaincy? well when Sachin was a captain, that time also he failed.

He had a bad series in SL (every other batsman had). Other than that, he has been consistent as EVER. What do you have to say about his batting in the current series???

[leosimha]

He cited fatigue as a reason. :lol2:


I appreciate the way when Dhoni himself came forward and rested himself during the Sri Lanka test series.

yes, fatigue. he is honest.

but in the team, we do find players who are not 100% fit and then do play.

I am not pin-pointing Sachin.

But Sachin is not 100% fit as before (7 to 8 years back). I guess since 2002 onwards, he has been in one injury or the other. I rather feel for him.

[ajithfederer]

PR,

I do acknowledge the AUS ODI series win.

I don't want Sachin to hit 100 and then lose a match. What matters most is the contribution. Yes, Sachin has contributed much but now the time has come for him.

Sachin too opts out of tours when he is not fully fit. I don't get your point :huh:

do u think hiding a serious injury and still getting declared fit to play the match is any fair?? kumble cut short his career with such blatant viloations (*violation=playing in match though unfit)......if a player is not fit 100% mentally or physically, they better rest........i really appreciate Dhoni for the decision he took for SL test series :)

[leosimha]

Since when did u start representing majority India? :lol2:

The topic here isnt about sachin the captain. why going on in a tangential argument mate, runnin out of arguments :lol2:

Now can you dare to prove one batsman from India who has scored more than sachin in the last year :lol2:



feddy,

it is not only my opinion but it is the opinion of the majority India. :D

the hub is place for bias. :D

captaincy? well when Sachin was a captain, that time also he failed.

I just conveyed he failed as a captain before.

and right now he is just keeping himself in the team and then comes and says in the interview that he is not being respected. what a shame. :banghead:

[ajithfederer]

FYKI,

Any player is bound to get injuries. A 20-year career isnt a joke. No body has played consistently forever. Every other player in any country gets injuries.

That wasn't the point of discussion here. He was thrusted the captaincy with a team made for the heck of it. Freakkin unneccessary of u to bring it.

Keeping himself in the team, :rotfl:

yes, everything comes into play. I do agree. I never said that since sachin hit a 100 and that's why India lost.

In most of the matches when India were chasing to win, I don't see much contribution from Sachin except for the Sharjah series in 1998 against Australia (I guess so) and then against Pak in WC 2003. These are very memorable. unforgettable.

[MADDY]

Leo, please name someone who can replace Sachin.........honestly, BCCI team doesent have the bench strength to absorb losses of Sachin, Laxman, Dravid, Ganguly :) ....give yuvraj, dhoni, rohit sharma, gambhir more time and then pull the plug

[leosimha]

littlemaster1982 and feddy brothers,

in the Home pitch, Very Very Special Laxman is much better than Sachin.

[ajithfederer]

Two contradicting lines. what do you say for this?

So you do agree that sachins 100's were for a loss cause because there wasnt enough team participation :P

I don't mind even if a player hides his fitness and plays but he should perform on the field by the sole reason of will and determination.

I was surprised when Sachin played against Pak in Chennai. Sachin had back spasms and we lost by 16 runs. I appreciate Sachin for his will and determination to win the match single handedly but had he taken a by-runner things would have been different.

Now don't tell me the Pak Captain didn't allow for a by-runner.

Kumble when he injured his jaw, he did play but took the important wicket of Lara against West Indies.

Sachin has been the best batsman in Indian team, Sachin IS the best batsman in the team and Sachin would be the best batsman in ANY team.

I am not talking of the past here... He is still scoring as well as any other batsman, and is more probable to score in ANY condition compared to the kids. Those who says sachin's powers are waning dont understand cricket. Just watch his foot movement, poise, balance and timing in this test series. He is not very far from his best. :thumbsup:

yes, I agree it is very hard to absorb the losses of Sachin, Sourav, Dravid, Laxman, Kumble.

and yes, youngsters should be given more time.

but it would be better if youngsters are given the chance right away if they play and lose. in the process they would have learnt.

rather than keeping the fab five for some more years and losing 50 to 60% of the matches. anyways one day they will have to call it a day.

Seems like you don't follow cricket much. Anyway here you go,

Just in last year

93 Vs SA in Belfast
94 Vs Eng in Oval
97 Vs Pak in Gwalior
117 Vs Aus in Brisbane

And 72 vs Aus in Nagpur which we lost after he provided a good start.

Short term memory loss :sigh2:

Those who says sachin's powers are waning dont understand cricket.

But the time has come for him.

It is true. Sachin hits the ball hard even today also. He is very good player.

But the time has come. I don't want Sachin to lose the respect he has gained over the years. Let him retire on a very successful note and very respectfully. I really feel for him.

I never said Sachin is an obstacle.

performances need not only be scores.

even sachin had performed in bowling and fielding and won matches for India. Do you remember the 5 wicket haul of Sachin where India won. that's great. And he is also a great fielder.

Adhu enna dynamics ? What is it that Sachin is static about ? What makes him too old to play- which is what I think you are driving at ?
I think he merits a place by his sheer performance and current form even if one were to disregard his past performance.

This is not something I would say of Dravid. Raina is breathing down his neck.

Your frank opinions are wrong and hence rebutted here. Baseless arguments to be put correctly.


hmm... okay. good for us if Sachin plays on to win matches for India.

Leo, your attempts at sarcasm are pathetic to say the least.

Your posts are contradicting one another. Sachin is the best player, bheesmah pitah, irrreplaceable solreenga , retire aaganumnu solreenga. I seriously don't understand the logic

echoos me - MSD and his team performed/played Mr Mendis and Murali more better than the 'test' team 8-) 8-)

Dhoni - In one dayers - Already I have given my views about this in Dhoni thread.. idhukku mela enkitta solla onrum illai :) karthik, you mentioned as though he didnt play coz he was scared of the M's :evil: adhukku badhil, ambuttu dhaan.

vidunga.. vidunga.. Mendis chinna payyan.. eppadiyum adutha seriesla iruppan.. Dhoni Captain'ah iruppar.. (Sachin'um irukkanum) then we all cud get an answer

I remember the performances of each and every player that is what it matters at the end of the day and not the scores.

You mean the performance in bed the previous night???? WTH can be an indicator of performance other than a freakin score?

thanks, littlemaster1982 brother. I remember the performances of each and every player that is what it matters at the end of the day and not the scores.

yes hit a 100 (good performance) but what we need to see is how many matches India have won at the end of the day.

Performances translate into scores. Or did I understand it wrong :confused2:

Can you explain how Sachin is an obstacle in India's winning of matches?

[crajkumar_be]

kumble cut short his career with such blatant viloations (*violation=playing in match though unfit)......if a player is not fit 100% mentally or physically, they better rest........i really appreciate Dhoni for the decision he took for SL test series :)
:shock: Kumble got injured during the course of the match. When the match started he was fully fit. When you are a bowler who is willing to bowl *effectively* even when you are hurt, that is called courage, dedication, incubation etc etc and NOT a violation :banghead:
there is a difference between declaring yourself fit for a match when you are not and playing a match even after being injured *in the course of the match*

[crajkumar_be]

u have taken 2 bad examples from Karnataka only........why did u do that?? try to tell me....aannn......yov, karnataka players nalla aadalannu unakku theriyumaayaa??? do u have the proof?? i can prove with my camera :x :P

:oops: I didn't mean that. Okay as you say scores are the means of judging a performance, but this is only a part of it. you need to judge the overall performance.

how much wickets did courage,dedication,incubation gave in that match?? IMO u r bring unfair on team if u play though u r unfit.......and its considered violation in many countries........

but CR, i was made to believe that kumble was injured for a long time :? and he still played braving the injury.......
