Of all the fielders involved, F3 seems to be the least likely to be protected.

The interps suggest that if in doubt, typically they choose the fielder who's closer or closest to the ball.

Who you do feel should be protected or was protected here? Unless you think it should have been interference with F4 not being afforded the opportunity to field the ball unimpeded?

Your thoughts?
