make them follow on and fist them.

Is that a new rule?

It's not compulsory, but you do get five bonus points for it.

make them follow on and fist them.

Is that a new rule?

It's only mentioned in passing in Wisden. Maybe it's a bit like bodyline, but more severe.

Hmmm... not quite the fisting we were all hoping for.

[ACVilla]

Couple of early wickets could see them getting nervous with regards to following on.

[Villan For Life]

Absolutely. The ball tends to move around an awful lot in the first hour at Hove. Our attack should be able to capitalise.
