Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[cimm1979]

I understand the reasons you never bowl first and usually support them.

Sometimes a team will bowl first because they feel it's the only way they can win.

But the only way the poms could have won this test is by bowling first in overcast conditions. That's why they brought in Finn late. They gambled and won.

Might have been one of the rare occasions where you look outside the norm and bowled first. It would have taken away their only hope.We didn't gamble and are in strife.

Particularly if you look at the weather forecast for the next 4 days.

All in Englands favour.
