Bat first. No-brainer. Surely our batsmen are good enough to withstand some early swing. Expect a couple of wickets early on, but similar application to our first innings from the last test, and we'll survive to put on a decent enough total. Don't want to be chasing on a sporting 5th day wicket.

Except you don't know, it will be 2 or 5 down in 15 overs in a pace friendly conditions... If they can do it with 2 down, that's pretty good. I don't have that confidence with the kind of foot works our boyz have. So I feel it's safe for them to watch the conditions first by watching what the pitch does...
