Kumble or Fumble ?
by Kannan on Apr 05, 2008 05:22 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Very insipid, unimaginative, boring captaincy. No longer effective as a bowler. Please retire and make way for Piyush Chawla

I like the usage of words, inspide, boring. I am surprised you ar ethe very same people who raised Kumble to the stars when he handled the team in Australia against the australian media, fans and players and said this the kind of captain you need. One bad day & all of you will drag any person down to earth. I think its time we stop wasting time doing such stuff and enjoy Cricket just as any other game.

I agree. Losing at home pitch, playing 5 bowlers and still struggling to get the opposite team out and managing only 7 wickets. India does not need Kumble as captain. Its time some young chap takes over as India captain.

True...
kumble must retire gracefully.
He is not fit and dangerous.
Problem is "he does not accept it"
If he goes for runs,he shouts at fielders.
He mostly gets only tailenders out and also claims that bolers gave 100%.
man,if SA team which canot ply spin can score 500 consistently,there is a problem with bowling,particularly spin.
Accept it dude

I beg to differ with you, if Kumble is getting only the tail enders wickets, how is he the third highest wicket taker, and also has crossed six hundred wickets, just because you do not have to pay money for posting in here do not post rubbish

I agree. What is the meaning of the Captain saying that the bowlers gave 100% when they have no figures to show for it. Is a score of 494/7 by the opponents reflective of 100% commitment from our bowlers? I doubt it.
