Everyone including
jusstrolls have no idea about the context of it all
Kumble bowled from the other end (obviously with the other umpire), he did not get any support from the wicket...in fact Anwar and Afridi blasted him for 25 in 5 overs and reached 90 for no loss at lunch
There are rumors that during lunch the Indian team received a call telling them to bowl Kumble from the other end and to concentrate on one specific spot...rest as we say is sad Jayaprakash history
Read the rest in this report:

Especially this part from the 4th day report:
Nevertheless, Anil Kumble is unfortunate that he will have to live the rest of his life with the fact that this Test was marred by some horrible umpiring by local man Ajit Jayaprakash.
With whatever knowledge about the game Jayaprakash has shown, he actually even didn't deserve to stand in a club match but here he was supervising a crunch match between Pakistan and India with the series being played after 12 years and the home team trailing 0-1.
It was amazing on the part of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that they appointed Jayaprakash for this tight match despite having Venkataravghan available. The point to be emphasised here is that Jayaprakash spoiled what would have been a keenly contested match though Pakistan would still have lost the Test anyway because never in the history of Test cricket, 420 runs have been achieved in the fourth innings.
It was shocking to see Jayaprakash raise his finger one after another.
After all, he was the same man who couldn't raise his finger on Saturday when he allowed Sadagoppan Ramesh, Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly and Javagal Srinath to have second knocks despite the fact that the appeals against the four looked even closer as compared to the ones he gave out today.
It was not Pakistan but cricket which was disgraced at the Ferozeshah Kotla ground on Sunday. And the onus of this lies chiefly on the shoulders of the BCCI and then Jayaprakash.
Without belittling the record-equalling effort by Kumble, he was the same bowler who looked unimpressive and mediocre when Anwar and Afridi blasted him for 25 runs in five overs while bowling from Steve Bucknor's end as Pakistan raced to 90 for no loss at lunch.
One doesn't know what happened during the lunch break but when play resumed, Kumble was introduced from Jayaprakash's end. In the next 20 minutes, Pakistan had slumped to 115 for four with the umpire giving three absurd decisions.
Shahid Afridi, who was looking great, was declared caught behind and on the following ball Ijaz Ahmad was given lbw while stretched fully forward. While Afridi stood at the wicket for sometime for which he was warned later by the match referee, Ijaz was given out in shocking circumstances when the umpire kept on hesitating for three to four seconds as the Indians kept on shouting before he gave the marching orders.
Yousuf Youhana, who had come after Inzamam-ul-Haq was bowled, was again given lbw on the second ball when the red cherry hit him high on his front ball while playing forward.
Those decisions were enough to create doubts about the credibility of the umpire in the batsmen's minds as they battled to keep the ball away from their pads. That forced them to play away from the body and without coming into the line of the ball. But that tactic didn't work either as three batsmen were caught at silly-point and Moin Khan was caught in the first slip.
It would not be wrong to sum up the Test by saying that Pakistan didn't lose to India but to a hostile crowd, poor wicket and poor umpiring.
Watching youtube videos without the context will always make things look quite different
:kami
what a bad decision it was. Wonder what Indians must be thinking at that moment.
was not out, he looked good for a triple hundred
