Javagal Srinath bowled the 1st wide ball of the test match. He bowled the 2nd and the last wide ball of the match in the same over. The reason: Anil Kumble had taken 9 Pakistani wickets and the last pair was batting. Kumble had told him to forget about the record and go for the last wicket. but how could Srinath do that. He knew Kumble would get it. Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis knew Kumble would get the last one too. And he sure did.
There are a lot of apt adjectives one can associate with Anil Kumble but the one that I like the most is : Silent Assasin. Letting your work speak for yourself is the greatest reply to your detractors. And Kumble followed this principle to the T.
I salute Anil Kumble for all he has done for Indian Cricket. May he have a wonderful life post retirement.
The moment which will inspire and make every Indian, every sportsperson and every individual proud --
Anil Kumble bowling with a broken jaw and getting the wicket of Brian Lara (Antigua, 1999)

good to see you post after a long time...
well, i dont know much about kumble as a cricketer but recently read an article and came to know that he is a great human being! :)
That picture of Kumble bowling with a broken jaw is itself inspiring to the core ..
Even the great Viv ricahrd said that that was one of the bravest things he had seen on the field ..
great cricketer .. greater human being ..
I too used to a fan of Kumble. I hope he has a happy life.

I really want to post more often but after the day's work, I am left with very little energy to come up with a post.
Busy days.
