A few quotes i think aptly paint Jumbo's bowling strategy and success...
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall"
- Confucius
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
-Calvin Coolidge
"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."
- Albert Einstein
"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will."
-Vince Lombardi
Persistence...1 word describes how kumble added victims 1 at a time or rather 10 at a time incase of pakistan and got to 619. Be it his commitment {broken jaw incident} or his discipline {career} or his unwavering mettle in dealing with temper {did you see him sledge??} or the art of pace variance , he climbed heights unparalled with the same silence which he emerged and the same quiet he exits.

My hats off, as the cricket nation bears down, for this true cricketer.
