Surrey Phil Dec 2021 9:33am, 8 Dec 2021 7,737 posts	0 Surrey Phil Was it the right decision to bat first? Green wicket, overcast conditions... The ball was going to move and favour the bowlers hence the number of dismissals behind the wicket.
TROSaracen Dec 2021 9:40am, 8 Dec 2021 24,366 posts	0 TROSaracen Heard it was a 50:50 to be fair; the crashing ineptitude of our batting made the decision look bad. If we'd have inserted and the Aussies made a few, then it's also perceived a wrong decision. Nasser copped it at the Gabba for inserting when he was clearly trying to protect the batters. Root himself copped it in the summer when he inserted and the Indians cashed in. If you're shit, you can make any toss call look wrong.

TROSaracen Dec 2021 9:52am, 8 Dec 2021 24,367 posts	0 TROSaracen Using your bidding approach he’d have probably bid 150 runs in order to make the call….🤣

Oscar the Grouch Dec 2021 11:31am, 8 Dec 2021 3,925 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch That front leg is miles too far across to do anything at all with the bat. Muppetry of the highest order.
TROSaracen Dec 2021 11:32am, 8 Dec 2021 24,370 posts	0 TROSaracen OK, Australia's first innings total. I'm going for a slight fightback (compared to my initial thoughts....) 346 all out
