I'll take care not to offend you further, I'm sure you realize how much your approval means to me :p. By the way, I thought the post was excellent too, if you'd paid attention, I was responding to comments on the blog. That IS still allowed right :p ? Anyways, no more rants from me. Kumble was the epitome of gritty hard work, and (if for nothing else) he should be saluted as such. Just in case I've failed to convince people about what my opinion on Kumble is :). @Gaurav

The man is truly a valiant soldier for the Indian team - you cannot forget his urging Ishant to bowl that extra over wwhich nailed Ponting. The way he used his clout as Delhi captain and his brilliant cricketing instinct on behalf of Kumble, was heart-warming. This, when he was not even the Vice-Captain. Yet, we celebrate guys like Dhoni, who park their leadership skills and insticts when being Vice-Captain but turn it on easily when they are captain. Indeed, Sehwag, not Dhoni should have been the new captain - I believe values are more important than results - and Dhoni lacks in basic values like putting the team's interest above his - such as suggesting ideas to his jaded captain when required. Being Wicket Keeper and Vice Captain, both of whom are required to do this, it is mind-boggling that Dhoni got away with not helping his captain.

Let aside the fact that all the alleged fixed matches have been ODIs, it is prepostorous to malign an entire decade of performance just to prove to the world that Kumble was a mediocre bowler. Not just Kumble, you are now tainting the records of Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly, Srinath and many other players. Seriously, what the f*** have you been smoking? Or is it that you are so pigheaded that you choose to ignore facts just because you have made up your mind on a thing? @shouri

Great opening and fitting last words to wrap up the career of a man who wore India's colors, after earning them, match after match. I admired him more after that Antigua Test which is now part of cricketing lore. As for the fans of cricket, you could perhaps read more on my website.
