It had been expected for some weeks - but when Anil Kumble's announced at the end of today's Test match at the Feroze Shah stadium in Delhi that he was retiring from Test cricket, it allowed him to say Farewell to Cricket on his own terms, while he was still at the top of his game.

At the time of his retirement he was captain of India's national cricket team as well as the most successful bowler India's cricket history - holder of the current record for the most number of wickets (619 and 337 respectively) taken by an Indian in both Test and One Day cricket. One of only three bowlers to have taken more than 600 Test wickets (the others being Australia's Shane Warne and Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralidaran), Kumble made his test debut for India against England on 25 April 1990 and over the past 18 years developed into one of the most successful spin bowlers in Test cricket. He is one of only two bowlers (the other being Jim Laker of England) to have taken all ten wickets in an innings of a Test match - a feat he accomplished against Pakistan in February 1999.
