There was a hot debate in "Neo Cricket" at the time of Kumble's retirement, comparing Anil Kumble with Sachin Tendulkar.What do you think about that? Who is better of them or more precisely, who was more valuable to India?Post your view with reasons to support your views.
It was a very sad moment for all the fans that one the greatest spin bowlers the world has seen left the arena.
Seriously speaking, the kind of chat talks by comparing players are done just for the publicity and they do only one thing, putting more pressure on the players.
Its true that these players are not performing as expected these days. But that doesnt mean that their contributions in the past are forgotten. Its very bad to say that they should be forced to retire and so on.
Ofcourse, one solution would be like the selectors can make the fair decision of choosing the players but public criticism of not performing is very shameful deed.
Comparing Sachin and Kumble is another mistake. It just ruins the peace of mind of the players. Everyone knows the way Sachin and Kumble have excelled in their domain.
So they will know when they have given enough for the national team and say quit.
Praising the players only when team is winning has been the tradition of Indian fans and cant rule out more chats of the same in the future too.
'Praise the lord'.
