It seems Munaf Patel has lost some of his pace and killer instincts and is no longer the express fast bowler he used to be a couple of years back.
He was basically used as a stock bowler for most of the three-Test matches and asked to keep things tight by bowling a disciplined line and length.
In that sense, his six wickets were definitely a bonus. Apart from utilising the helpful conditions in the first Test, in Hamilton, where he claimed five wickets, he failed to live up to expectations in the next two matches, claiming just one from both outings.
