Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3462935, member: 9052"] True, but Australia would usually back themselves to bat for 5 sessions after winning a toss. At the toss I think Cummins said something along the lines of expecting the first session to be best for bowling... so to me it was Aust trying to nullify SA's strongest part of the game and protect our batters from their bowlers. I dont mind if we can win bowling first because our 2nd innings when batting first has typically been a pointless 30 over bash for 150 and then trying to bowl them out for 1.5 days... sometimes losing from winning positions. If we can learn to get them cheaply in a first innings then 4th innings chases may be ok with Aust pitches holding up well over the last few years. [/QUOTE]
