Jumbo No More

Kumble bows out at the Kotla. Poetic to say the least. It was a surprise but not unexpected. What warmed the heart was the farewell he got. By far the best farewell for India's greatest match-winner so far. I don't know if we will see the likes of Anil Kumble anytime soon. Thank you for the memories Jumbo.

For those who thought Amit Mishra was the replacement ready to take over from Kumble, think again. A look at the just concluded test will tell you all you need to know. He has a long way to go. Hope he atleast tries and does not get bogged down by the mountain he has to climb in trying to replace Anil Kumble!
