A cricket rant

to illustrate the differences/similarities among a bunch of India's greatest match winners in my generation (of cricket watching).... I
agree statistics don't tell the full story... but still Kumble is never mentioned in the same level as a Sachin or a Dravid.... but his performance in Indian victories clearly highlights what a great match winner he is !!... hopefully he will get his due .. may be now that he is the captain.....
