So Anil Kumble said ta-ta to international cricket. Great cricketer. Period.
Only the other day every former cricketers were saying he has two year's cricket left in him and within two months, Kumble quit. Was it because of the media criticism ? no can't be. He has handled criticism from day one when all these chaps who are praising him now were questioning his ablity to bowl leg spin.
Kumble put them in place by getting wickets. I feel the reason for him quitting is that he was too preoccupied handling 10 other guys and young bowlers. Perfectionist that he is he was falling short of the standard he had set. Bowling ball after ball on the 22 yard for 18 years is no joke. He did that very well. What tremendous work ethic he had . Superb but he wasn't a captaincy material.
Had he not been made the captain, he would have bowled without a pressure. Now you know why bowlers can't be good captains.
