Patience pays off

AFP, Adelaide
Wickets have been hard to come by for Indian leg-spinner Anil Kumble in Australia and perseverance paid off with five wickets in the second Test at the Adelaide Oval here on Saturday.
The 79-Test veteran claimed three wickets in five balls, including Ricky Ponting for 242, in his 43rd over to finish with 5-143 and end Australia's mammoth first innings at 556.
It was his 21st five-wicket haul in Test cricket, but his first in Australia, where in his previous tour in 1999-2000, he managed just five wickets at an average of 90.
"It's one of those things, you reap the rewards the next day after putting in all the hard work the day before. I didn't do anything differently, " Kumble said after Saturday's play.
"We had to be a bit more defensive today, obviously we didn't expect them to get 400 runs yesterday."
Kumble, who has now taken 363 Test wickets, said he needed patience to bowl in Australia.
"It's just experience and probably I have learned a lot more in trying to adapt," he said of his improvement in coping with Australian conditions.
After toiling away for 1-115 from 28 overs on Friday, when Australia amassed 400 for five, he collected 4-39 from his 15 overs on Saturday.
In his final over, he had Ponting caught at slip for 242, then three balls later bowled Brad Williams for a duck before trapping Stuart MacGill leg before wicket first ball to leave him on a hattrick entering the second innings of the Adelaide Test.
Kumble, who is India's second-highest wicket-taker after Kapil Dev (434), said he was learning how to approach his bowling on flat, unhelpful wickets, such as the Adelaide pitch in this Test.
"It's mostly with the field and the approach, having to be a lot more patient, especially on a wicket like this on the first day of a Test match," he said.
"You need a lot of patience and a lot more of a defensive approach in terms of setting fields.
"You're attacking in your bowling but field placements are a lot more defensive."
Kumble, 33, hit the headlines in 1999 when he claimed all 10 wickets in an innings during a Test match against arch-rivals Pakistan in New Delhi, a feat achieved only once before by Jim Laker of England.
