an avid cricketeranil kumble -'the jumbo'-the underestimated best bowler
by priyvrat kohar on Mar 31, 2007 10:27 AM

anil kumble is the kind of spinner who always performed well but was not rewarded for it.in and out of the team in such a long career-inspite of the fact that he always performed.he lacks the glamour of the game just because he is a bowler.he is equivalent to sachin dravid and ganguly but we rated him average.his abscence against bangaladesh brought us on our knees.he could have made a lot of differene.but this has happened a lot of times when we underestimated his power and capability.the best thinker-he played the best mind games against the best batsmen in the world n got them out.we enjoyed watching him for 15 yrs.i respect his generosity.a gentle human being and an avid cricketer.miss u jumbo............
