Anil Kumble has just taken his 500th wicket, and newspapers from across the world have asked me to build a software engine that will construct reports on Kumble automatically: all bylines will be affixed after the reports are generated.
Here's a list of key words and phrases I'm planning to use to construct the report:
Bespectacled, engineer, mild-mannered, soft-spoken, unlike Warne and Muralitharan, metronomic line-and-length, hardly turns the ball, flipper, loyal soldier, matchwinner.
Don't believe me? See the reports tomorrow!

If your software is yet to be commissioned I suggest you add three more in this version - 'lower order batsman', 'fifty' and - you guessed it - 'cover drive'.
