RE:india cricket board

it's all time, there are number of occassions in the recent past, where Kumble had made more runs than some our leading batsmen then suddenly you go and drop him for almost a year and bring him back, today was not his day period, 1) number of his rightful appeals were not accepted by umpire 2) this pitch you do not require 2 spinners 3) 8 wickets were taken by SL pace bowlers 4) WCI is different ball gameKumble has time & again bowled India for wins in both Test & ODI, especially his record in WI is the best among current bowlers, if you want to have any chances of the cup then don't even fancy such wild ideas of dropping our main trump card. Pls for heavensake do not expect Kumble to contribute each & every time, also umpire shastri turned down number of rightful appeals made by him. this pitch does not aid spin bowling period, 8 wickets were taken by SL fast bowlers and only 1 by spinner. team mgt made mistake of chossing 2 spinners for a pitch that does not offer anny assistance to spin bowlers.
