In his column on Dreamcricket, Suresh Menon makes the case for Anil Kumble to be given a long stint as Test captain. Menon argues that Kumble has brought a rare combination of toughness and dignity to the difficult task of leading the side and that he remains a key bowler for India.
While young cricketers need to be given a chance to succeed, veterans must be given a chance to fail. Kumble hasn't failed and you cannot bring in a new captain just because he is younger and has signed more endorsements. I doubt if Dhoni himself is hankering after the job, but with friends like Kirsten, he does not need too many enemies.
