It was then, it is learnt, that Latham pressed the help button and approached the southpaw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Latham came to me. He said that Ashwin&#39;s deliveries (in the first match) were repeatedly hitting his pads. I then advised him how to cope with the problem,&quot; Ganguly said.<\/p>\r\n",
