No, you wouldn't think so, but it generally feels better to have passed the follow-on mark than to have given the option and merely seen it not accepted. Ideally, we'd get up to 182.it will be interesting to see whether NZ would enforce the follow on. Im not so sure, I don't think they'd want to bat last.
Really? I'm not really that big a fan of him, just think that's he's incredibly hard done by. I've said before, in fact, that I don't think he's ever going to have a great international career, just that he's had much more to show than he has to date. Even though he bowled pretty much like this at the Basin Reserve against Bangladesh (however, I realise you just don't count this)and your O'Brien fanship quite outstrips that of most people's of a single player on this forum
Since 7 matches (Bangladesh excluded) ago... 17 months having passed, no more.10 wicket bag looming for Vets, he hasn't had one for since god knows when in tests.
That may be true, but the weather forecast for the last two days is not promising. Therefore, I would be strongly thinking about enforcing the follow-on. The way England are batting, I doubt very much they would be able to muster much more than 300 in their second dig, even if they batted much better. Therefore, that leaves us only 100 to win batting last.it will be interesting to see whether NZ would enforce the follow on. Im not so sure, I don't think they'd want to bat last.
I count it, but no more than his performances for Wellington, and neither of these count as much as Tests against Australia and South Africa. You may not be that big a fan of him, but you have plugged his case - understandibly so, as it is indeed surprising that a bowler as impressive as him at domestic level could be so woeful at international - more so than most people have plugged the case for a single player on CW.Really?

Hope they do and from all I've heard about Vettori you'd think he would. Batting doesn't look all that easy at the moment either and you'd want to kick England whilst their down as well.it will be interesting to see whether NZ would enforce the follow on.

All the more essential that we get these remaining 15 (as of post) runs to make it irrelevant.Hope they do and from all I've heard about Vettori you'd think he would. Batting doesn't look all that easy at the moment either and you'd want to kick England whilst their down as well.
