    Hats off to Anil Kumble

    Indeed its a big achievement for an Indian....

    Anil has reached 500 wickets at an impressiive strike rate of almost 5 wickets per match which is equvalent to a century for a batsman

    Often a bowler's performance goes unnoticed as cricket is basically a batsman oriented sport....

    but Anil's achievement is appreciable .....

    A very intelligent bowler....

    Despite the criticism heaped on him like... .he is not a spinner etc etc, he went on in relentless pursuit of targetting his wickets....

    and has succeeded

    Hats off

    After a long time, Murali played against India in India and did reasonably well...
    He is being treated with all respect by our topline batsmen including little master Tendulkar and wall Dravid....

    When Murali played first in the 90s, he was smashed for several sixes by SIxer SIdhu !!

    Ofcouse, when we toured twice to Srilanka, Murali was successful in his ground

    Kumble was successful against Austrlia(last year indian tour)also.
    Very sad that he was overlooked for last world cup final. He told this during Mohali test . HATS OFF TO KUMBLE.

    WHen it comes to suspectful action, even Chandrasekhar was questioned several times but those days, the technology was not that advanced and besides , chucking was not the focal point........

    Whatever said and done, I feel that Murali is able to extract more turn due to his peculiar action and this takes away some credit from his stellar performance...

    Indeed a great bowler but he is another Asian whose record may not get that respect compared to Shane Warne
