yes hindsight is a wonderful thing, and no doubt had the openers got through the first hour or so, as opposed to failing first ball, it might have got a bit easier, but both sides have had very little batting prep against a red ball, so whilst batting is "positive", bowling might have been the pragmatic choice.I was listening and Aggers commented that it was a toss to lose because both captains really had to do the positive thing and bat first, which struck me as insightful.
