A bolt from the blue.
Anil Kumble retires. Jumbo bids farewell to international cricket. A great cricketer- arguably the best. More than that, a Great Man.
A deluge of memories flooded the cricket lover's mind on this sombre moment..The ten wickets at the same ground where he bowled his last, many a match winning performance around the world when all but this man gave up..
But at the top of the list still remains his 1 wicket..
The wicket of Brian Lara in the West Indies...There the match was poised at a critical juncture and the rest of the Indian bowlers ineffective as ever, with Kumble retired hurt due to a broken jaw, courtesy Mervin Dillon, when the fans and connoisseurs noticed this large-hearted man at the sidelines of the field getting his jaw literally tied up from the physio Andrew Leipus..
And then he came on and bowled the over of his life.. my jaw ached when i saw his move..my heart in pain for his suffering...but my heart rejoicing for his courage..
Long live his courage...bye bye jumbo...
