thats because of a decision to come from behind against India. a decision straight out of the book of Matchstick.

a cappo is supposed to look at the conditions. if they appear full of runs bat. if it appears wet and condtions tight bat for the wicket will alwyas get worse in those conditions...

yu send in the opposition only when you have fast bowlers who can blast out batsmen on any surface... and spinners who can work them out same way.

when you have a strong , champion side, often does not matter when you bat or bowl

when the toss is in your hands you never, ever give up that advantage to the oppostion...no matter what the hell matchstick stats say.

I have lived and experienced and that experienced contains the facts...bat last and lose..bat first and save yoursell

if westindies had batted first and rattled up 300+ India could never have won.

it would simply have been too much for them as it turned out for the westindies!
