On This Day: February 7, 1999 - Anil Kumble took 10/74 vs Pakistan at Feroz Shah Kotla

It must be destiny that in the era of two greatest spinners it was Kumble who got a tenner instead just so that the history can remember him as the 3rd greatest spinner of that era
 
‘He was supposed to drop the catch,’ Anil Kumble reveals startling details of historic 10-wicket haul against Pakistan

Former India leg-spinner Anil Kumble revealed how his teammate Sadagopan Ramesh almost spoiled his historic 10-wicket haul against Pakistan in 1999 at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. In a candid conversation with former India batsman VVS Laxman, Kumble said the Indian team had decided to let him complete his 10-wicket haul after he had dismissed Saqlain Mushtaq - the 9th Pakistani wicket.

Ramesh, however, went for a catch off Javagal Srinath’s bowling after Waqar Younis top edged one. Thankfully, he could not reach the ball as it landed in no man’s land.

“He was supposed to drop the catch , that was the plan,” said Kumble in the Very Very Special Stories show hosted by Laxman.

“I don’t think ramesh heard the team plan, that’s how he is. He probably forgot that I had 9 out of 9 and was looking for the 10th, so he ran for the catch,” Kumble added.

A few minutes later, Kumble got the wicket of Wasim Akram to become the first Indian and only the second in the world after England’s Jim Laker to pick up all 10 wickets in an innings. India won that match by 212 runs.

But Kumble’s 10 wicket-haul was not a walk in the park. Saeed Anwar and Shahid Afridi had given Pakistan a brilliant start, not losing a wicket in the first session. The game turned after lunch, when Kumble dismissed Afridi for 41. “I was not at all happy during the lunch break. I remember our coach Anshuman Gaekwad coming and telling us to lift our game. I knew I had to take the responsibility as I was the senior spinner. I felt if I can get one on that 4th track then I could breakthrough,” Kumble said.

The Great, Brother Jumbo.

Forever

10/74

Unforgettable
 
On this Anil and the umpires room ten wickets. Yes, it is sour grapes
 
No. Sour grapes are very sour

Jokes aside Pakistan folded in front of Kumble that day like crazy. Had no answer to his fast in dippers. There were only 10 on offer otherwise he would have surpassed even that figure :yk
 
Great 3 wicket hall. After discussing with my Pakistani friends I realized that 7 of the wickets were gifted by Jayaprakash. Especially Inzi’s which turned the game around.
 
Amazing bowling performance from Kumble.

I have a feeling AV Jayaprakash is far more famous in Pakistan than his own hometown in India :P
 
I saw his 10/74 live.

I thought Pakistan could win the game after being 101/0. But, Kumble changed the game.

Kumble was getting nothing out of wicket and then changed ends and umpires then assisted in his 10-for 😉
 
Amazing home umpiring as well 😉

Not a single howler. Apart from Afridi's wicket which 50:50...rest all were clear out.

Its another myth that is going around for years in Pak cricket fans mind that Kumble's wickets were due to AV Jayprakash.

Actually, the biased umpiring we saw other day from Erasmus is much worse.
 
Pakistanis talking about dodgy home umpiring lol, you don't want to go there. Sour grapes more than 20 years later despite the repeated and recent thrashings from Bharat
Sour grapes 🤣🤣 that series was draw 1-1 and mainly due to Indian umpires being Indias man of the series. Pakistan also beat India in Asian test championships back then in 99 when literally 100,000s of thousands Indian were left crying after been beaten in Calcutta.

The fact that you are still upset over kumble taking 10 wickets, 9 of them which had absolutely 0 issues shows sour grapes, despite the fact that Pakistan did well in that series and subsequent Asian test championship. And let's be honest, pak were never chasing 420 in a test match, that would have been a world record
 
Funny thing is that Pakistani fans go missing when you post the video of his 10 wicket haul and ask them which of the decisions were incorrect.

India failed to chase 200+ totals in 2 test matches vs Pakistan that year in chennai and calcutta, so what irrelevant point you making in regards to 420?
 
Great umpire. With DRS all those decisions would have been right anyway or Umpires call at best.

Unlike the exceptionally biased and incompetent Shakoor Rana.
The fact India have never produced a single decent umpire in entire cricketing history says it all 😉

Ganguly was given out wrongly in the Chennai test 2nd innings, one of the worst decisions of all time. India lost that game by 12 runs.

I agree with AJ here.

The Ganguly decision in Chennai where Moin Khan took arguably the greatest bumped catch of all time and got away with it shows the class of Indian umpires.

India most likely would have won the series 2-0 wasnt for that greatest bumped catch of all time.

Ifs and butt's, facts were saqlain toyed with "the best players of spin" all series.

In effect won 2-1 in 3 tests player that year 😉
 
Warne murali Ambrose McGrath Wasim marshal are remembered to this day

Home track bully’s like Kumble Anderson are long forgotten.
 
Abhi tak ro raahe ho :ajmal2
Not at all, but Indian fans acting like they have good umpires etc.. is comical to say the least.

Well done kumble on his achievement on losing 2-1 to Pakistan in tests played in 99 😉🤭

And a Pakistani commenting on umpiring and biased umpire is sone pe suhaga- pure comedy gold.

Good to know 2011 left a deep scar on PPers ;) :sachin, 12 years on some kids still have nightmares over it :viru

Pakistanis still cry about kumble more than 2 decades later so I say he is pretty well remembered

When did I once say Pakistan had good umpiring? When did I once say Pakistan umpires were biased?

You seem confused. I never made any claims on pakistani umpiring, yet your not honest enough to admit Indian umpiring is a shambles.

All Pakistanis remember back from those 99 tests is winning 2-1 despite kumble doing fairly well. I more so remember the silence of a whole ground like someone had died when shoaib Akhtar sent dravid and Sachin back to pavilion for tea and biscuits 😉🤭 in one of those tests

I am not confused, but you seem to be deeply aggreived by the fact that a Pakistani making fun of biased Indian umpiring is comedy gold in itself and then from no where brought in 2011- which shows the scar Mohali's left on you :sachin

Bhai taang kheenchne gaaye the, khud ki kheench gaayi :cool:
I simple brought up the 2011 world cup as certain Indian posters were crying about gangulys dismissal in 99 test.

I don't have any scars, I have been watching cricket since 1987.

In that time I've seen Pakistan win Test series home and away to India.

Win ODI series home and away to India.

Also seen Pakistan win a world cup, T20 world cup and champions Trophy.

So I've seen Pakistan achieve what they have needed to all formats of cricket.

So no scars here 😉. But nice try with posts. You will need to try harder 🤭

Shyam Bansal / Arani Jayaprakash were elite level Indian match winners, massively helped beat Australia in 2001 series.

Don't be forgetting these Indian legends

Pakistan's shoddy home umpiring basically forced ICC to adopt neutral umpires lol. Javed, Inzamam, Salim Malik, list goes on whose careers were made because of they never got out LBW at home :)

Again at any point did I say Pakistani umpires were good? The fact that 99.9% of Indian fans play the victim mentality and avoid the fact their home umpires were bad as well. But its ok, keep hiding behind the lies lol.

Kumble, harbhajhan can thank the home umpires for 90% of their wickets in home tests 😉🤭

Pakistan were actually the 1st team to call for neutral umpires after test series away in England in 83 and 87. But don't let that fact slap you in the face.

All home umpires favoured the home team. Pakistan, England, India, WI, NZ etc..

WI during a test series vs NZ got very verbal and angry with "home umpires" during a test series they lost.

Difference is "Indian fans" act like its a non occurrence with their umpires lol
 
To all the Indian fans in this thread 🤭

Pakistan were ones who were 1st introducing neutral umpires.

Well it is what it is, greatest bumped catch of all time made Pakistan look terrible...

No honor in winning by cheating....
 
Really? Who claimed so? Pakistani fans? :ROFLMAO:
The fact you think India has produced top class umpires in hilarious

On top of that since neutral umpires have been brought in, India are still the only country that constantly cries playing the victim.

Oh "Aleem Dar" always gives us bad decisions he doesn't like us Indians

Oh "Steve bucknor" always picks on India

Always the "victims" and always "delusional"

If there is no honour in "cheating" then India should stop over hyping the 2001 series win vs Aussies, another series won by indias home umpires 😉🤭

I beg your pardon, it was the late, great Shane Warne who took Aleem Dar to the cleaners, which he deserved to be. It's hilarious Pakistani fans saying us Indian fans play the victim card. Who are the ones playing victim card in the current World Cup? Who were the ones playing victim card against Darrell Hair all those years? Heck, you yourself played the victim card in this thread crying about the DRS decision in the 2011 World Cup.

LMAO, can you name me one Australian players, past or present, who had an issue with umpiring in that series? Mind you, Pakistani 'sour grape' fans having an issue means zilch.

I diagree! It was not the greatest bumped catch in history. The honour goes to Rasheed Latif against Bangladesh, when he picked up the ball from the ground and appealed.

What does the 2001 series have anything to do with this thread?

Moin Khan the greatest bumped catcher of all time, was on display for the whole world to see, Pakistan cheated their way to winning.

No honor there...

🤣 Indians didn't cry about Bucknors umpiring during an Australia series?

Where are Pakistan playing victims in this world cup? There have been no complaints on umpiring in this world cup

Darrell hair the guy who claimed ball tampering, yet there was no evidence found in that test.

In regards to the DRS, I brought it up as you were crying over a bumped catch, also you were blindly saying Indian umpires have never been biased.

Like I said your always playing the victim "the perfect cricketing nation"

🤣 when you can actually be honest. Come back with a reply.
 
Damn bruh, typical Pakistani behavior being displayed here (drifting as usual)

My response was in regards to you saying Pakistan cheated.

But according to all Indian fans

They have never cheated

All Indian umpires are world class

Indian umpires have never been biased

It's a simple conversation every other nation can be honest. One nation has to lie and pretend its perfect cricket nation

Harbhajan was gifted wickets galore in that series by home umpiring, again the fact you can't be honest is comical.

We're Pakistan umpires baised in 70s and 80s? Yes they were. So we're every other nations umpires.

Have Pakistan produce any good umpires? Yes 1

Aleem Dar. But as time went on he declined.

That's being honest.

But with any Indian fan its

Oh all our Indian umpires are world class

Oh our umpires were never biased

Like I said when you can be honest rather then talking lies come back to me
 
LMAO, can you name me one Australian players, past or present, who had an issue with umpiring in that series? Mind you, Pakistani 'sour grape' fans having an issue means zilch.
Sour grapes? Remind me the only team in world cup history to have a game abandoned because their team started throwing parts of concrete and other items onto the pitch? Because they couldn't take losing

That's sour grapes 🍇 and being a loser.

Pakistan did cheat bro.

Taking the greatest bumped catch of all time is cheating..

I never said Indians were angels, Indian umpires are not the best, although Venkat imo is up there with the best umpires.
