Stupid decision by Dravid IMO. The outfield will still be very wet, and the ball will get soaking, and soft. Basically this will take Kumble out of the equation and there will be minimal swing at the most.

Vaughan would have chosen to bat first had he won the toss, anyway early wickets here and then it could all be awesome.

Seems quite ludicrous to me. Not only do India rely on their spinners for the majority of their victories, but the outfield is wet. Obviously bowling on a theoretically drier outfield later is going to be of an advantage, and overcast skies are predicted throughout anyway. I just don't get it.

Is it a defnsive gesture to protect his own batsmen, one wonders? If so he shouldn't - remember 2002 when India (bravely but correctly) chose to bat at cloudy Headingley?

Erm, I prefer having my news from authentic sources rather than sites which always get their news from other sites. Any how, I was emphasising on the fixed part in the headline.

Ideally I'd have had that in the headline, too, but there is a limit on characters, y'know.

That might not have ended-up being perceived as so brave had we bowled well.

Well Khan does some justice to it, super ball, but not the greatest shot ever.
