Watching Kumble bowl is more exciting

Oh, he turns it. Turns it in both directions, with amazing subtlety and thought. The man is a master to watch, indeed. The dismissal of Hameed was a beauty. Thought him out in the air, beat him in drift, beat him in turn. Gorgeous. I hope the captaincy can help him take his bowling to another level. So far I'm pleased to see the way he's attacked right through this session.

Change of pace, variety in length, good loop at times, bounce because he hits the seam, very little turn meaning the ball hits the bat more often. You see guys like Murali or Warne can miss the bat a lot as they turn the ball a mile. Anil Kumble turns the ball not as much so anything that turns sharply or bounces a bit more has a chance of bat/pad or even missing the bat by an inch meaning it will crash on to the stumps.
