Why did India chose to chase in a warmup game?

[maniac]

I mean isn’t it obvious that teams would want to chase in these conditions?

 

Who cares about win and loss in warmups.

 

Australia very smartly decided to bat first against India.

 

Was their any logical explanation? 
 

I am sure we would have batted first in the 2nd warmup but we lost the toss.

 

our management is crappy and has no vision.

[Lord]

also that was night match while Aus was day one

I saw a sequence of cartoons a long time back.

 

A party is going on and everybody is relaxed, chatting, laughing and eating / snacking slowly.

 

BUT one gentleman has his head down and eating very fast without looking at anyone else.

 

And In the last cartoon he has finished eating and raises both his hands and shouts " First ".

 

Our Bilateral King is like this gentleman. Loves winning when no one else is competing.

Over the last 5-6 years, I used to hate seeing India cruise to mindless wins at home in bilateral series in white ball cricket.

 

It was generally the same players too, Hitman, Dhawan and Kohli. Instead our bench strength needed to be tested and exposed.

 

Arrogantly and stupidly they never changed the order of giving other players the opportunity to properly bat and these one sided wins at home, in a way have come back to bite us.

 

Again we are only one match into this World Cup, I will like to see  what happens v NZ.

At one point Kohli even said that he is not too bothered about finding a strong #4 as big 3 are enough to carry the batting. Utter rubbish, selfish thinking from Kohli. He himself has terminally declined now and is looking for places to hide.
