James Anderson is not a fan of the follow-on, branding it "the worst invention ever" after it backfired on England in the second Test against New Zealand last month.
England became just the fourth side to lose a Test match after enforcing the follow on, with New Zealand winning a thrilling match by just one run. And while captain Ben Stokes insisted he had no regrets over the decision, Anderson would like to see the follow-on "banished".
Reflecting on the Test on his Tailenders podcast, Anderson said: "The follow-on is just the worst thing... the worst invention ever. If I could make a change, I'd just banish the follow-on.
