Should KUMBLE retire after AUTRALIA series

[amuzammi]

Well if any of you have seen the yesterday's bowling by KUMBLE then you will witness that all the batsmen played him with great ease and scored runs from his end. He was not as lethal as he could be in the past, this trend has started in the last series in Srilanka, where he only managed to get wickets of tailenders in the second test.

In my opinion he should take his own step and announce his retirment after this austrlian series, and it will enhance his reputation in the eyes of fans. I cal easily suspect if he keep on lingering this matter then selectors may be forced to ignore him at the cost of MISHRA or PIUESH who are coming up with the reputation of front line spinners in their respective teams.

I dont know if Kumble is trying to compete with Murali or Shane Warne or has any plans to reach or equalise Shane's wickets, it is cleat that he cant even stand by Murali, because Murali has atleast another complete 2 years in his pocket to play international cricket or even more because of his fitness and variation according to the players and conditions.

I humbly request to KUMBLE to announce his retirment so that his fans like me can not be hurted by selectors in next series.

regards

Aamir

I think your mistaking the Islamic tradition for India.

Well its matter of Ethics not any sort of tradition, dont bring religion into play.

Kumble has hinted that he this last series test series against Australia but not his.
SO let's wait and see.
In the current test match in Bangalore the aussie batsmen were playing against him more with a straight bat and trying to avoid bringing in the front foot forward maybe to avoid the LBW chances adding to his anger.

I'm not you said that Indians don't drink, All I'm saying is that you are generalising, and the only generalisation possible would be the Koran forbidding drinking, although how you got that would be interesting to know because the major religion in India is Hinduism which has no such restriction, hence no ethical restriction. Secondly unless I'm missing a whole lot of sarcasm, you are the one generalising

Anyway back on topic I think Kumble should retire if India win or draw, because it will be a victory for India against Australia, who many in India perceived as having cheated (not suggesting anything ) in the last test series between the two countries.

If they lose well he should still retire although a whole lot more quietly

Gentleman, if we can leave regligion out of this, it would be much appreciated.

The poll/thread is about whether or not Kumble should retire after the current series, not about the recreational habits of a country; so please stay on topic.

As for the op, well, lets give him a few more innings, one bad session/match doesn't mean that a player has had it.

from what i've seen of kumble bowling in the last 2 series he doesn't seem to be anywhere near the bowler he used to be. If australia win the series he should definitely retire, if india win the series it might just be enough to prolong his career a few more games
