That’s the trouble having a fast bowler as captain. The Oval is always a bat first pitch unless there is a lot of cloud about.The Dark Knight wrote:Jim05 wrote:I would have been filthy if Pat had won the toss and bowled
Easy to say that now Jim, at the toss Cummins said he bowed first aswell.

For ever and a day the WACA was different to the SCG, the SCG different to Adelaide etc etc but you knew what you were getting.
When Warne was at his best did we create 5 dust bowls around the country? No.
When McGrath and Gillespie were at their peak did we create 5 seaming rippers? No.
It's insane to think we doctor pitches in the way India does.

You know what you’re going to get in India as well.
