Ask Anil Kumble who his favourite opponent is, and the chances are that he will name England.

His record against England is remarkable, as the following table shows:
 

Venue Tests Overs Runs Wkts Avg Best 5WI 10WM
At Home 6 347.1 856 40 21.40 7-115 3 1
Abroad 7 381.1 1008 22 45.81 4-66 0 0
Total 13 728.2 1864 62 30.06 7-115 3 1


Kumble's five-wicket hauls against England:

     21-7-64-6 at Chennai, 1992-93
     28.4-6-81-6 at Chandigarh, 2001-02
     51-13-115-7 at Ahmedabad, 2001-02

Kumble's ten-wicket hauls against England (in a match):

     51-13-115-7 and 38-5-118-3 at Ahmedabad, 2001-02

For all his wonders at Ahmedabad, where he took his tally of career victims to 299, Kumble was harshly jeered by the crowd when he left the field to treat his hand that he damaged while attempting to take a difficult catch off centurion and Man-of-the-Match Craig White. Incidentally, Kumble has dismissed Andrew Flintoff off three of the last four balls he has bowled to him in Tests on Indian soil!

* Of the English players who are part of the current touring party, Kumble has been successful in dismissing three: Michael Vaughan , Marcus Trescothick (once each) and Andrew Flintoff (thrice).
