India-Aus Delhi test ends in a draw!!...

The third Test, which will now be remembered as captain Anil Kumble, ended the game in a draw here today and announcing his retirement. Having their 1-0 lead in the four-match series, with a crushing 320-run win in Mohali, India now move to Nagpur for the last match of the series Kumble, who decided to quit after playing his final Test at his happy hunting ground delhi.

Only an extraordinary batting collapse could have forced a result which hard hardly anything for the bowlers other than the spinners. Taking 20 wickets was an impossible task, as the first two innings alone yielded nearly 1200 runs.

The australian attack finally regained some of its standard bowling and tried hard to get rid off Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir in the morning , but it did not prove enough in the end. India declared there second innings at 208 for 5 with VVS Laxman batting on 59 and Sourav Ganguly on 32.Chasing 245 in 23 overs, Australia finished at 31 for no loss and the test was drawn as temmates lifted Kumble off the ground and all came in turn to wish him.

The greats of the game were Gambir with a 206 & 36 and Laxman who has been Australia's nightmare struck 200 not out in the first innings and 59 not out in his second innings was unbeaten in this game.

This test match will be indeed remembered as we bid goodbye to one of the all time legends of spin Anil Kumble!!. We miss u JUMBO!!....

Jumbo we miss u!!!!... Goodbye Anil!!...

Anil Kumble, India's Test captain, announced his retirement from international cricket today and will not play the last Test of the series against Australia in Nagpur. His announcement came during the fifth day's play in Delhi, at the end of which he was carried off the field by teammates giving an emotional farewell.

In 132 Tests, Kumble took 619 wickets, the most among Indians. He injured his finger on his left hand on the day 3 in the third Test which made him think about his decision to retire. He captained India to three wins, with the 72-run victory at Perth against Australia undoubtedly one of the Greatest wins for indian cricket.

The legspinner was also the second player in history, to bag 10 wickets in an innings against Pakistan in the second innings in delhi. A fitting farewell that his last match was also at the same venue.He stands equal with that of the spin legends Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan, footmarking his contribution to spin's golden era.

He has been a person who has lead india to great heights, a special person has to be born to beat the records of this legend leg spinner. We salute at you kumble!! U rock!!. We miss u Anil!!!....
