Mishra can't be dropped for Kumble

[coffee_rules]

Mishra was a replacement. It is the same as Kaif who was SRT's replacement in 2004, was promptly dropped after SRT came back. Kaif had some good performances in India and WI (100 in wi). So, we should see if Kumble does a Thorpe after the series.

It's simple - if Kumble is fit and plays at Delhi' date=' Harbhajan goes out.[/quote'] That leaves us with two leg spinners. Not a great proposition either. If Kumble comes back, whoever he replaces, I hope he gets his form back. What better place the Delhi to get his form back?

No..he was persisted with in that series even after Sach came back.

[Desi Cartman]

Mark my words, kumble will declare his retirement stating his injury problems.

[King]

Nothing wrong in Kumble not retiring but continue being in the team. He can help Mishra quite a bit being in the sidelines. Who knows, Harbhajan may not do as well in the next test or two and Kumble can play the last test match. I think Kumble can afford to rest the next test match as well as it will only help his shoulder recover fully. Perhaps he can call it off by the end of England series if Mishra continues to be good enough.

lol, making mishra a superstar after 1 innings..typical kumble should play if 100%

Agreed...PPL should learn to respects the champs....Kumble should play if he is fit

[Willow_on_fire]

Wat if Harbhajan too has a 5 fer in the second innings?:nervous:

then Shwetabh and Cowboysfan will be left 'shaking' in anger...:hysterical:

It's simple - if Kumble is fit and plays at Delhi' date=' Harbhajan goes out.[/quote'] :haha::haha: 15.0 overs 2 maidens 23 runs 3 wickets :dance:

[Fontaine]

Firstly Dhoni is a player with an awful attitude not fit to play Test cricket and now he should be elevated to permanent captaincy through the drop of Kumble? How very fickle the Indian fan can be.

Wait till he loses a test match. People will be calling for Kumble to unretire and take over the captaincy back from him.

[Lord]

mishra hasnt bowled well so far in 2nd innings. if he doesnt take any wickets, i m sure he'll be dropped for kumble n rightly so.so get the wickets, mishra

[vadodaravictor]

Tough call..but I predict that Kumble will sit out...He will not be dropped.. His injury will not be healed before start of 3rd test

[Lord]

there a lot of time before 3rd test, so there's every chance that kumble will be 100% fit.

[coffee_rules]

Why is there 9 days of rest before the next test?

there usually is a long time between 2nd n 3rd test of a 4 test series

[vsd2006]

if Kumble doesnt step out himself, these new selectors dont have the balls to make him sit out, if it were vengy and his boys, kumble would have been given the instructions by now to tell the media that he is injured and wont play even if he is fine. AM Out, Dumble in for 3rd and 4th test. Dumble wont risk going into the match without 6 bats+ dhoni, so Laxman stays in

why 'd they do that?we dont want to treat our champions poorly.

[Sachinism]

Now this is going to be a real dilemma Do we have to take Kumble because he's the captain maybe the physio can rule him unfit *sneaky look*

end of discussion? I hope it's a 3-spinner pitch. Guests will be forced to play Krejza _and_ White. All-you-can-eat Buffet for Motu. We can afford to rest Jaheer...

If kumble is fit, then he'll come in. Difficult choice for Test-3
