Yeah, I think Vettori is a different kettle of fish. The way he's just 'putting it there' (as the Telegraph's Scyld Berry said this morning) suggests Vettori has never really recovered.
Bond is just rusty. He's bowling quick from all reports but mostly too short with erratic lines. We all know from one of Shoaib or Brett Lee's bad days that fast bowlers can go for plenty when they're slightly off, so I wouldn't be too concerned about Bond yet.

As I feared, we're back to the full-cream milk being dished up by Vettori and Styris these days. It'll be embarrassing if Fleming goes back to this tactic in the tests (the Barmy Army would work on a chant), but it's nice that Vettori's given us prior warning he'll be in the starting XI.Loony BoB said:

Pff...the West Indies. Even we were an early-series aggressor against them!
Of course, being the farm boys who get given the two-test series, that's kind of imperative against sides you know you're better than. Right now I think we'd be delighted to get out of Lord's still at 0-0.

It's kind of hard to compare anything these days. For example...
NZ draw with South Africa and lose to Kent. This would imply that South Africa would lose to Kent, and also that NZ and SA would both lose to SA.
England draw the Windies on ODI's and the Windies are threatened by Bangladesh. This would imply that England would be troubled by Bangladesh too. This would also imply that NZ and SA would be troubled even more so - and the odds would be on Bangladesh to win.
So it would be something like this, all up...
England
West Indies
Bangladesh & Kent
New Zealand & South Africa
