Rajiv Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 ..than a fast bowler Almost every delivery is wicket like, the pitch adds to the excitement. Umpires are on their toes as well, and batsmen get cautious Guy doesn't even turn the ball, what is it man..its really not easy to figure em out Link to comment

Yuvraj4Captaincy Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 kumble is a legend esp on subcontinental pitches..he is the king with his googlies n all Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 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. Link to comment
King Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 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.

bharat297 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I feel he is such an unsung hero in Indian cricket. He doesnt shy away from battle. Even though Id still put Kapil Dev as the best bowler in Indian cricket history (given what he did for Indian cricket) ... Kumble is not far behind. Link to comment
