Isn't it better to score quickly by losing some wickets rather than scoring slowly by losing quick wickets?
Successful tactics on a flat deck and so far they played only on dull wickets. Also at their home games last year, a new batch of balls played a huge role.
We can also argue that in challenging conditions it's better to play exactly like this.
I hope for a change India wins the toss and bats first.
