Why is Dhoni wasting the new ball?

India look totally rusty, one warm up game was a nonsense especially after so much one day cricket..
Even before he pulled up injured Zaheer didn't look match fit.

All the Sky commentary team said Zaheer looked like he as carrying too much timber and didn't look fit

lol at the Indian fans. 130-2 after being put in is more than decent.

What lol hazsa?
If dhoni had lost the toss, and india batted first, then being unprepared india could have been 5 down or worse.
And that could have cost us the match.
But now, the forecast is bad, draw is likely unless a team perform miraculously badly.
And then come the 2nd test, india will have been much more adjusted to the conditions here.
Thanks to dhoni's luck that for a man who has a reputation for rarely winning a toss,wins it when it really matters.
So its good for an undercooked india to bowl rather than bat in these condition.

Bravo, the way he won that coin toss was majestic.

It's comes to something when Indian fans are applausing their team for winning the coin toss

In cricket,winning a toss may decide the series.
So dont overlook that important factor.

I fail to see how winning this toss is so brilliant. We've set a platform for a decent total, with the weather set to stay the same I fancy Anderson to cause a few problems.

Picking Zaheer Khan was stupid and costly...why pick a bolwer who has had an injury and missed the Windies Tour to play in England, even Michael Vaughan had to correct Simon Hughes on Ch 5 Commentary when Simon commented on 5 tests in 4 weeks (yet he didnt play!)

lol, just watching fatty tendulkar misfielding
