thermonuclear:

 

Patel getting little support from his captain and the field. 

 

For me Latham has set overly defensive fields. I also do not understand Patel bowling 25 overs of arm balls when GP has had 5 overs of genuine turn off the pitch. The first patel wicket was simply sillyness off a wide batsmen stepped into it and bounced of the pad back toward the stumps, this last wicket was just an arm ball the batsman tried to play across the line. Averaging 40 off arm balls is not what the team requires right now, like you said the fielding needs to help out.

Is GP injured? If not you would expect given the cracks widening and the turn he gets both ways, is it something Latham has against him? (I didnt see if he strained his groin or such, if not, disappointed)

edit: even Patel is turning it a little now, the entire team missed hearing an edge. Come on get GP on at the other end unless hes off the field, this is absurd. What I was going to say earlier was Id like to see Patel and GP get the ball down below 80kph which Patel is now bowling some which makes loop and spin much more pronounced. WI tail ender is not playing the spin well at all, so bizarre they missed that nick. But good to see Latham "finally" get more men around the bat.
