A look around the grounds suggests otherwise. Only Gloucs have lost less than 3 wickets for not many runs
Yes. The weather had to suggest batting first. And I suppose you can't make decisions worrying about a suspect top order.
It has the makings of a hard season so perhaps it's just as well it won't be a long one.
I do have some sympathy with the batsmen, bowlers obviously under more physical strain giveh the lack of preparation but it must be very tough batting with virtually no pre-season practice. That said, the lineup is weak.
