Slow up the bowling and watch Australia wilt

What's the best way for New Zealand to annoy Australia? Go back to the tried and tested formula of bowling the nagging slower bowlers, writes Adam Parore in the New Zealand Herald. Daniel Vettori should bring himself on as soon as Ricky Ponting walks in and force the errors.

The idea, especially against newer and inexperienced players, is to force them into hitting the ball through the field early in their innings, rather than allowing them to use the pace of the ball on the good Australian wickets. There is nothing worse for a new batter than getting to the wicket and finding he has to get all the pace on the ball.
