He's got grit. Patel has a chance to redeem himself if he stays there with Kaif. Already there are calls that he be replaced as wicketkeeper because he is dropping catches with monotonous regularity. If he can score a century tomorrow his critics will be silent.

I can't help but think that Bangladesh could have put up a better batting display than the Indians in this test. India has at least 2 of the best batsmen in the world so why the problems? :confused:
First change should be dropping Patel. According to the Telegraph he has put down 23 chances and cost India 675 runs as a result. Perhaps Dravid should keep wicket. As he isn't making runs, it can't really negatively affect his batting.

Brendon,
It was a sporting pitch. It had grass on it to aid the fast guys and the bounce was even which made batting, provided you applied yourself like Martyn or Clarke, a test of character.
The Ozzies scored runs didn't they. Lets face it. Oz is Number 1 on any pitch anywhere in the world.
zxb,
There are some guys who want Patel to open the batting in Mumbai. Go figure.
They are not going to drop him in a hurry. He must have very influential godfathers.:mad:

zxb,
The trouble is that our boys are a group of mercurial individual super heroes; the Ozzies are a team and we were hopelessly outplayed.
