Two significant wins we had when we batted first. One against the Pakis in the world cup ( I was there) mad the other against the Indians (I was not there). It seems that we are jot good at chasing. Even with Worcs we had tough time chasing a paltry total. I think you should bat first. There is less stressfull on the young batsmen while batting first. However, you can bowl even whe you are stressed.
So Rob, BD will bat. Score will be BD all out 198. England 201/4 in 35 overs. That is my prediction.

Anytime BD scores 225+ batting first, it creates some pressure on opposition - our bowling is more than decent. But mostly we score less than 200 and what follows, we all know.
The main challenge is to avoid the initial collapse in batting, regardless of whether we bat first or second
