As the shadows lenghthened at the Firozshah Kotla...and KUmble bowled the final JUMBOish over..it brought an end to something which a lot of Indians of my generation have grown up on..India in dire straits and praying to God (read Kumble). Invariably he got us a breakthrough...He was the only strike bowler we have had in the last 18 years....PERIOD....
Indian cricket has taken many leaves from the OZzy cricket almanac and this decision is no exception...As we saw Warne, Mcgrath and then later Gilchrist they have all retired at their own condition and not been forced out of the team by youngsters. Kumble also realised that the young Mishy was breathing down his neck and then there are Pragyan Ojha and Piyush Chawla...The frequent injuries have not helped his coz and lastly the unforgiving Indian public and media scrutiny at every action..Even Sourav has succumbed to this and will be retiring after the Nagpur test...The tremendous pressure under which these guys are is going to have more victims as there are already cracks in the "WALL"..good luck TEAM India
