Bangladesh is today playing Australia and all Bengalis will be glued to their TV sets to support their brothers. As it is one Indra Sengupta in another forum has sent his best wishes to Bangla guys and has asked all Benglis to stand up and support Bangladesh unitedly just like how they were unitedly praying for India to lose against Bangladesh. What a community? And to top this some ppl want Ganguly 2b the captain. Well even God cannot help this country as long as WB is not removed from the face of this earth.

Who told you that Bengalis wanted India to lose against Bangladesh? Actually all the Indians are divided by regional feelings, communal considerations. and caste biases. You want to remove Bengal and Bengalis, please do that. Remove us from India if you can. Remove all the Bengalis from art literature film science and ploitics. You removed ganguly and saw the fun. Yes remove the Bengalis and would see more fun.

More fun when Ganguli was reselected.He divided the team once again with his dirty politics&played his role brilliantly by helping India lose to bangla"DESH"!

Yes, we removed Gunguly and there was no fun but actually Indian team was doing well last one year but resently players like Suresh raina, Kaif's bad form force ganguly to come in not because of his form. don't worry! nothing will happen if WB is removed. who is ready see your art films? then politics...WB is backward by cummunist from last 30 years, with out much improvement.

@ Indra Sengupta
i think you have a misplaced sense of regionalism, you spam across the boards resevering galis for everyone else, and praise for bengalis ? and then go on to say that we are a divided lot. its odd that you have to do more with it, than people actually having it! in effect you are promoting more of it by supporting only ganguly.

u r absolutely right. and just look at this dirt Indra Sengupta who has come up with a long msg in this forum.
Better late than never. I believe that Kumble should have announced his retirement even before being considered for the ICC World Cup 2007. His contribution to Indian cricket is unmatched by any cricketer past or present. Given the way Indian cricket is managed, I believe he should also retire from test cricket before someone else decides that he has to leave. Hats off to you Mr.Kumble, you have done India proud.

I agree with you it shows how mean this cricketers ar man like kumble is waiting to go in world cup he is not bothered about country.
'Kumble is one of India's greatest spinners'. Is this heading appropriate. I don't think so. Even Kumble does not think so. He is one of the bowlers who just bowl straight. It never spins. Harbhajan or for that matter Piyush chawla or for that matter Sunil joshi can be called spinner. Kumble is in Indian team because of pure luck and fate. He is not even an ordinary bowler. Even `gully cricketers' are better spinners than Kumble. Forget kumble and go ahead. He has done nothing for Indian cricket except for personal gains.

It should have been, "Is your head right?", because frankly, your response sounds like nitpicking and petty fault finding.
How does it matter whether Kumble spun the ball or bowled slowly. All that matters for Indian cricket is that he has consistently produced winning performances more often than the other big names in Indian cricket - from any generation - have done. For that matter, we do not need "spinners" like Harbhajan who have become thoroughly predictable and forgotten how to take wickets. Whether it is luck or fate is also irrelevant - what matters is performance, and that Kumble has in oodles.

Anil Kumble is one of the greatest spinner in the world. Whole world has agreed this. Remember gully cricketers can't take 10 wickets in an innings. I think you dont know much about criket. Simply dont comment..
RE:Is the heading right ????
by bunt on Mar 31, 2007 02:34 PM Permalink
just taking 10 wkt in a inning is not enough. It is the consistancy and fighting spirit, which we do'nt find in any Indian Cricketer. As far as world's best spinner is concerned it is undoubtdly not Murli, Not kumble but it is only S Warne.

RE:Is the heading right ????
by Circuit on Mar 31, 2007 03:00 PM Permalink
Agreed, No doubt Warne is the best leg spinner till date, but Anil's greatness is in his control over his own limitation and use them as his deadly weapons.
You look, he can't spin the ball as warne does, but due to only variation of speed, length and bounce and most important his flippers, he is having the average at par with warne.
One pore point here is that warne has got his max.wickets againt English who are not good spin players, He was total failure against indians. but kumble has take wickets again sub-continantal great spin playing teams also.
So Don;t compare these two different styles of bowling greats and appreciate the efforts of kumble in indian success in the recent past.

Hey, you moron, chella. Kumble is the leading Indian wicket taker in tests. He is the only other bowler than Jim Laker to take all 10 wickets in an innings. He is a legend. Go to the market and buy yourself a brain !!
RE:Is the heading right ????

Have you won all these matches for India then???No bowler can take so many wicket just due to luck!Remember all these Harbhajans&Murlitharans were under scanner for improper bowling actions,but ICC with their asian lobby cleared them even changing the rules.Kumble was never into any such controversy!Harbhajan plays for his selfish motives,not Kumble!

When i saw kumble in 90's he was wearing speks and it is hardly belive him as a legiee..Any spectactor who has been wathing his bowling, donot feel antyhing happend in the next moment. But by his hard working, sincererity has prooved his ability and potentiality as good bowler (Harbajan, zaheer etc who starts carrier, may well remmber this statement). He is engineer and who should have been good captain rathar than others.....The great kumble you are good man and keep sprotsman spirit ...
He didnot win, singe handedly a singe tournment for India..He mught have played about 3 to 4 World Cup events and none of them have his impact. Greatests are not only known by their presence for several years..they are recognized by their contribution in winning events like...Kapil, Gavaskar, Amarnath, Srikanth, Snadeep Patil, Kirmani and etc..form India..Imran and Akram etc from Pakistan....Allen Border and Shane Warne from Aus....Viv Richards and others from WI..who all of them have contributed for winning Mega Events for their countries.....unlike Kumble, who played for 17 years with no imprint of his presence in Indian Cricket...So, he is one among other pages in Indian Cricket History..of course a memorabe page with his persona achievements like 10 wickets in an innings and Indian highest wicket taker in ODIs and Tests..thats all....

What's bugging you? Can't you recognize the greatness of Kumble in his sheer dogged persevering nature. He could carry on for hours with his nagging accuracy. He was not flamboyant and a different kind of a spinner. So why is your vision clouded to recognize a genuine soldier of Indian Cricket?

i really wonder mr chivkula at ur ignorance of the game before u even start pointing ur mud soiled fingers at one of the greats of the game. when i say 'game' i mean indian cricket bowling achivements..........as for the afore mentioned cricketers i dont really see any famous spinners u mentioned (spare for warney) and most mentioned are batsmen rather than spinners. i will tell u this for one time, u gotta give credit to what kumble has given to the indian cricket team with his single-minded dogged determination over the years. if u can even picture that one incident in the carribean when he was hurt on the jaw by a bouncer, he came back on to the field with a bandage tied around only to try and give india a sniff of a victory. my sympathies to you for being a cricket fan who cant recognise this and a zillion more contributions from a gem of an indian cricketer. i shall forerver miss watching the great bowling ace ever bowl in a one-day international ever just like a billion other indians

Kishore Garu, What cricket do YOU watch sir?
From the top of my head, here is a list of matches Kumble has helped India win:
1) Hero Cup Final, 6/12, India won 2) Titan Cup v Australia in Bangalore, Kumble and Srinath won it with the bat 3) 10/74 v Pak, New Delhi, India won (and you seem to know about it, congratulations)
If you are of the view that Kumble has no "imprint and presence" in, I can only suggest you go and take a long hard look at your own knowledge of the sport!!
