Kumble bowls, says he is not feeling any discomfort
3 August 2001

After a ninth-month lay-off from cricket, Indian spin ace Anil Kumble bowled for the first time at the full-fledged competitive level on Thursday and said he did not feel any discomfort, indicating that he woul be totally fit in about two months.

Kumble, who is leading the Karnataka State Cricket Association team, sent down ten overs at a stretch against Andhra in a three-day match of the KSCA Diamond Jubilee All India tournament in Bangalore. "I did not feel discomfort at all. I got my line and length alright. Hopefully, I will get a wicket tomorrow, " Kumble, who had figures of 10-1-26-0, said.

Kumble had already said he was hoping to return to the Indian side for the tour to South Africa in October. Having already taken 276 wickets in 61 Tests, the leg-spinner is also looking forward to cross the 300 mark.

Kumble has returned to competitive cricket after withdrawing midway through a one-day series in Sharjah in October last year and then undergoing shoulder surgery in Johannesburg in January.
