New Delhi, October 13: : Former chief of selection committee Dilip Vengsarkar has lashed out at Test captain Anil Kumble, who was not apparently not fit, for his poor performance and hold him responsible for letting the team down.

Before the match, Kumble was not 100 per cent fit...

"unfit Kumble is letting the team down", Vengsarkar said in an interview to News24.

Sachin's Record
by TJ Cherian on 2008-10-14 14:06:53.802932+05:30
It is most unfortunate that the media attention on all channels was on Sachin's world record on most runs and not on whether Indian will save the test or not. Unfortunately it is this media hype which eggs them on to remain in the game and strive for personal glory rather than for the teams sake. The painful lingering career of Kapil Dev toward the end is an example.

Kumble is a disaster. Poor performance and poor captaincy nearly caused India's defeat and saved by bad light and rain. He should honourably stepdown and allow Piyush Chowla to play.

fab.4

How fickle minded people are and ignorent of the game of cricket.Every body wants the fab.4 plus Kumble to go,let us see who is their to fit in their shoes,well I cant see five young players to replace this lot.Then who scored the runs Dravid,Gungauly,Sachin,Laxman,what more every body wants.You can only replace these players one at a time not all the five at the same time.Look how Aust. has suffered,with 2 of the recently retired players in the side they would have beaten the Indians.India has done very well considering the state of the pitch.In my openion those 5 are stil the best players in the country.

Fab 4 who said it they are pathetic five
by Dinesh on 2008-10-14 19:01:02.991748+05:30
Pure Crap. No body is indespensible. Kick all of them (pathetic fives)out and replace them with whatever talent we have. India will be no worse than it is now. I guarantee it.

Mr. Kumble, crawl on!
by Ravi on 2008-10-13 18:55:45.140893+05:30
Kumble, NOT honest? So IS Sachin, Dravid et al. So WAS Ravi Shastri, Gavaskar, Kapil et al., Money, fame are be all,end all! No Human values!!, Seniors like Venky laid this path, successors walking on it, present lot of juniors will follow suit. Ongoing affair! Stray- Vengsarkars crying foul. So be it. Kumbles ,Sachins have to play, fit or not-fit. They have records to chase(!), however long it takes.They MUST be in records-galore! Media and amnestic-public will not take note they were done at snails pace (A dubious-record!). Kumbles/ Sachins Do Not give up ! Shun remarks of Vengsarkars. (Which you all are so adept at, your cricketing prowess long gone). You know how potent BCCI is they could not discover Kumbles shoulder issues. [Or BCCI thought players will declare fitness voluntarily! .so naďve? ]. Juniors have no voice, that they are waiting in the wings. Everything on your side. Take your time, 10,20 tests.. but achieve those mile-stones,for your personalsake!

Kumble crawel on.
by dinesh on 2008-10-14 19:05:25.950363+05:30
Very well said. Hats off to you. Crawl on kumble within next 10 years when people will carry you on stretcher in the field you will still play. there will be a few batsman who will miss you hitting for six and then you will get a few more wicket. Murali and warne beware. Indians play for personal records. Who cares if India lose. after all India has been losing since long.
