Haha yeah I was thinking this to myself, Gower and Key acting like there is never a reason to not declare the follow on. They even reasoned that Anderson and Wagner hadn't bowled that much so they could do the bulk of the overs.You can be dissapointed with the batsmen, but enforcing the follow-on is always a more risky decision than it appears on the surface. The combination of bowlers becoming tired and having to bat last most of the time means its safer to just put some quick runs on the board to set a large/huge target while the bowlers have a rest and the pitch deteriorates.
Not working out atm, but the decision isn't that bad. Commentators on the outside will always complain and whine like Gower and Key are right now, but when they were actually out there they would be making the same decision 9 out of 10 times.
I quite like Straw Mans idea.
itstlpapps for fulton wouldn't be bad as like-for-like. I'd like for him to be in consideration before we go back to guptill.
Yeah. Warne still bowls so bloody well.This is interesting to watch this Nasser/Warne stuff.
No thanks. Paapps at a stretch (injury crisis) as ODI opener but no way for tests.Papps for Fulton wouldn't be bad as like-for-like. I'd like for him to be in consideration before we go back to Guptill.
Hurricane caused that wicket.I was in favour of batting again. I will say that now while it is unpopular to hold such a position.
