BREAKING NEWS: Anil Kumble to retire after this test.[/B]

Don't want to sound like an arse, but it's the right time, what with the injuries and form slump. Not to mention he's 38, and will definately be remembered as one of the greatest test all-rounders (I suppose).

So this means Mishra will remain in their side, I guess.

Ha ha, did anyone see that? The fan passed down some paper and a pen on string down to the players and they signed it for him.

Great thinking.

BREAKING NEWS: Anil Kumble to retire after this test.

Where did you get that?

India will be always Proud to have him

Good batting there by Ganguly

 

[Gilly Fan]

Where did you get that?

As i linked somewhere back Kumble is not going to play the 4th test

Just mentioned by the commentators 5-10 minutes ago.

 

[smssia0112]

Who is that player ?

Just seen Marsh is in the field. Who is he fielding for

Dave Hussey would definitely be my pick, but there are options.

Katich is the man off the field.

Well done, very very very well done Kumble. Thats a great service you have done to Indian cricket. Hats off! What a career!!!!! LEGEND!!

Didnt expect it this early! Truly shocking

 

[KBC]

This is true, Kumble's retiring. , i'm shell shocked, i can't say anything. HHHHH........

 

[Chetan0304]

Yes It's confirmed
Bring Mishra!

 

[Gilly Fan]

There's the declaration. I think Kumble wants to bowl one more time.

 

[ajdude]

Don't blame him either, he'll want to bowl us out. We need 245 to win, let's get Haydos and Katman firing. Perhaps bring White, Haddin, Lee and Johnson up the order a bit to have a slog.

 

[Chetan0304]

There's the declaration. I think Kumble wants to bowl one more time.

Yes. he wants a farewell Wicket (of Hayden )

 

[ajdude]

You know, I'm Australian, and although I don't want us to lose the match, it would be fitting if he opened the bowling, and took 10 wickets in an innings again somehow. Preferrably in consecutive balls.

Am I being optimistic or pessimistic here? I mean, it's unlikely it will happen, however I go for Australia. My head hurts.

 

[smssia0112]

Don't send Katich out to open, get Hussey out there. Twenty20 time!

 

[SaiSrini]

Thats a good one! Have one final fling at his favorite hunting ground and then bowing out to the Delhi crowd! Perfect ending....

I decided to go to sleep 45 mins back, and had also slept off... but something made me wake up and look at the score, and I get this news. Cant avoid watching Kumble's final moments... At this moment, HAIL JUMBO!!! He should be given a royal send off

Kumble opening the bowling... What a welcome into the ground! WOW!!!!

This is White's speciality, maybe throw Haddin up he seems to want to throw his bat around and here is the chance. Well Aus playing for the draw too Katich and Hayden on the field.
