Yes Anderson is a great bowler that gets more assistance when there's clouds and grass, are we really debating that those conditions make him more potent? Why give the dukes ball with Anderson the most help by asking them to bowl first under cloudy conditions in a green headingley!

Yes india bowling first could've given 250 but that would mean they wouldn't have exploited the conditions enuf, but even if that was the case the odds would be less of us getting out for 80-odd when batting, yes it could've happened but we wouldn't have said it was a bad decision because it was a decision taking into account the conditions and the strengths and weaknesses of the team! It's about giving ur team the best chance of success

Lol we are circle jerking. For the last time, hindsight is 20/20. Foresight is never 20/20. Its all could've, should've, would've. Nothing is concrete and we are just debating on conjecture. Anyways, nice talking to you. Have a great day!

I agree on hindsight but I felt those opinions at the toss itself when hearing about the conditions/knowing about our recent batting form and team composition, not after seeing the scorecard after. Cheers.
