Kambli has the last word
Despite my promptings Kambli shows no trace of envy towards his old friend. After all, he says, it took Tendulkar six years longer to a get a Test match double hundred.Of course, it had the mandatory references to the Harris Shield match where he and Tendulkar put on a mere 664 runs.
It made me wonder about how such a talent (minus the ability against short pitched bowling!) could fade away, just like that. All it took was one series to show up his shortcomings. He tried to make a few comebacks, banking on his ability in one-dayers, but it didn't quite work out, as the likes of Yuvraj, Sehwag and Kaif made strong statements with their performances.
Would he perhaps have fitted in a more relaxed dressing room, as is apparently the case nowadays? Then again, the increased focus on fitness and discipline, which has already resulted in a major scalp, would have really stretched him to the limit.
