Imran criticises late declaration

It is a mystery to me how subcontinent captains wish to win without risking a little losing it, says Imran Khan about Kumble's late declaration in Bangalore Test. He was talking to NDTV.

Since subcontinent mentality does not allow risking a loss, teams lose many opportunities of winning it, said the former Pakistan Captain.

Imran was emphatic that with ball going up and down so much, India could have declared much earlier. He also said if Pakistan were not going back with a 0-3 series loss, it was only due to an exceptional batting display by Misbah.

However Kumble, in his post match interview, defended the declaration time and said that 45 (actually they were 48) overs were enough and had the light held, India would have won the match.
