Former India wicketkeeper Kiran More, who was present at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore on the second day of Indias training camp on Thursday, had called Anil Kumble the Muhammad Ali of cricket, after the legspinner ended his 18-year Test career in November 2008. Kumble was the ultimate fighter, as exemplified during his uninterrupted 14-over spell, which included the wicket of Brian Lara, with a broken jaw in Antigua in 2002. In his final Test, against Australia, Kumble probed away, despite an injury to his left hand.Throughout his career, Kumble was always at the batsmen, his face mirroring a cocktail of focus and intensity. He brought the same focus and intensity as an administrator, and it was intact during his first net session as Indias head coach.Kumble was among the first to step onto the ground, ahead of training, and ensured the nets were in good shape after rain had forced the players indoors on Wednesday. Kumble stood at the centre and supervised the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja and Amit Mishra to Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma. Jayant Yadav, Shahbaz Nadeem, Shreyas Gopal, and Karun Nair, who are not part of the squad for the Caribbean tour, also rolled their arms over, but there was a prominent absentee - R Ashwin. The offspinner, who regards Kumble as his idol, missed practice on Thursday because of personal reasons. He is set to the join the preparatory camp on Friday, according to the BCCI.Virat Kohli faced throwdowns from Sanjay Bangar, the batting coach, and Raghavendra, the teams throwdown specialist, before easing into drives against the spinners. He took regular trips down the pitch and drilled the ball straight. Ishant Sharma, sporting a samurai bun, then arrived and tested the batsmen in the channel outside off. When the seamer had issues with his landing area, Kumble himself applied sawdust and evened things up.The clock ticked to 10.45 am, and Kumble unzipped his winter jacket. He windmilled his arms as Cheteshwar Pujara took guard. He jogged and floated seam-ups, which Pujara blunted with a straight bat. Next up to face the coach was M Vijay. The opener was given a quick leg-stump ball, which he whipped firmly. Kumble couldnt hide his excitement and exclaimed: shot.Kumble largely bowled seam-ups, for about 45 minutes, and Vijay couldnt hide his awe for the former India captain though they havent spent enough time with each other, at the press conference. Vijay was handed his Test debut in the fourth Test against Australia in Nagpur, a few days after Kumble had retired.Hes [Kumbles] been an unbelievable cricketer for the Indian team, Vijay said. We are really looking forward to sharing some quality time with him... I couldnt spend a lot of time with him then. But Ive been a great fan of him as a youngster, who isnt?! It is a great opportunity for us to talk to him about cricket, his thought processes and learn from that and move forward. I think it is going to be a great time for us.When asked about Kumbles impact, Vijay said it was too soon and pulled off a classic leave outside off. Vijay, though, believed that the head coachs vast experience as a player would serve the young side well.Over a period of time, its going to be good for us, because he has 900 [956] international wickets under his belt, Vijay said. Its going to be great for us to know what kind of things we can expect in a high-pressure game. Its going to be good for us as a batting unit, as well. Its going to be a great 12 months for us. That much I can guarantee as a team.Kumble worked more closely with the spinners in the afternoon session, having lengthy chats with Jadeja, Nadeem and Jayant. Even when one of the younger net bowlers strayed down the leg side, Kumble gesticulated to keep it tight and straight.If Kumble can inject his focus and intensity into the young side, India have a chance to be the best in all three formats, as he had said in his first press conference as the head coach. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Juanfran-Jersey/ .

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Jalen Hurts passed for three touchdowns and rushed for 68 yards to help No. 1 Alabama overcome a slow start and beat FCS team Chattanooga 31-3 on Saturday night.With the offense struggling to get going, the Crimson Tide (11-0) spotted the Mocs (8-3) the games first three points and didnt really shake them until late in the third quarter. The defense had a more Bama-like performance, and hasnt given up a touchdown in 13 quarters.Hurts was 15 of 21 for 136 yards a week after torching Mississippi State for 347 yards. He had a 47-yard TD pass to Calvin Ridley and added two 1-yarders to Gehrig Dieter, including one in the final minutes that made the score look a little closer to what most expected.Damien Harris rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown and Ridley gained 94 yards on seven catches.Alabama wide receiver ArDarius Stewart did not play in the game, but it wasnt clear if hes injured.It was a milestone win for Alabama coach Nick Saban, whose 41-5 record as the No. 1 team gives him the most of any coach. He had been tied with Ohio States Woody Hayes (40-4-1) and Florida States Bobby Bowden (40-5).Chattanoogas first-quarter field goal put Alabama behind for the first time since Kentucky scored the first three points on Oct. 1. The Mocs trailed just 14-3 until deep into the third quarter before Harris raceed 25 yards for a touchdown.ddddddddddddAlejandro Bennifield completed 16 of 21 passes for 106 yards for the Mocs, who sacked Hurts three times.Alabama wasnt exactly pushing the Mocs around early. Chattanooga stopped two runs from the 1-yard line in the second quarter before Hurts rolled right on fourth down and hit Dieter in the end zone for a 14-3 lead.That was set up by a muffed punt at the 9.THE TAKEAWAYChattanooga: Was almost even in total yards with Alabama midway through the third quarter. Didnt allow a sack to a defense that came in with the most in the nation.Alabama: It was probably the least impressive performance of the season, considering what `Bama is expected to do to FCS teams. Left tackle Cam Robinson and backup Korren Kirven, who started at right guard, both left late with injuries.POLL IMPLICATIONSChattanooga: Came in ranked No. 11 in the FCS coaches poll and shouldnt be judged much for this one.Alabama: Still a lock to be No. 1 in the AP poll and playoff rankings, especially with teams behind Tide struggling.UP NEXTChattanooga: Finished the regular season and awaits its playoff fate.Alabama: Hosts Auburn in the Iron Bowl seeking a third straight win over its in-state rival.
