Along with the choice to bat, I also thought that was a barmy decision...Why do it now, why not against the smaller team... I couldn't really get that.

The Toss was also mad, no team has thought of batting first all tournament, Lara must have been overjoyed, but then the way they batted. Barmy just barmy.

I also couldn't understand why for the first tine they opened up with Akhtar, I know they needed wickets but who got all the wickets against India?
