Don't understand the appeal for sending the oppo in? Have they been again seduced by some nonsense by some groundsman about grass on the pitch. This is a surface that always takes turn. You have the extra batsman so why not back yourself to survive some first day moisture. Its not as if we got the 1980s 4 prong to open our attack.

Actually this is a prediction..made well in advance by confident people who appear to know what they're talking about.

That's like telling me I got to wait till I get to the Arctic to find out if it's cold or not.

You think Dominica pitch going change overnight or the incompetence of our groundsmen going to be suddenly reversed.
Stuupse.

Now Chase turning the ball big on first day.

That pitch always turns on all days. It also has true bounce. This moisture thing has long been debunked by OZ and RSA who know that its a disadvantage batting on the last day in any Test match. True once in a while you may get lucky but vs a team with better spinners than yours why take that chance with only 2 genuine fast bowlers.
