I would never bat first if I won the toss.

Ever.

But I know jack about cricket really.

And that's why.

i would have bowled first in these conditions tbh - but they're obviously thinking not to bat 2nd on this pitch. but supposedly much nicer for days 2 and 3 when aussies will be batting.

oh god that ballance always looks terrified when he bats..

Good decision to bat first, this does not look like a 5 day pitch.

Lyth reckoned it was a five minute pitch lol !!

Solid enough so far. Seen off the first Johnson burst and they had to turn to the spinner as Starc has been so poor. Would have taken that before play started.
