I think the dogma overtakes the pragmatism. The funny thing is that it makes you predictable. The toss is a waste of time. If we win it we bowl, if they win it they bat.

Look at the way we are batting at the moment. Smith has destroyed the bowling attack by swiping the short ball to all corners. Wonderful. But doing that on Australian pitches against Cummins or Hazlewood is a very different prospect. That is where judgement and adapting to conditions is required. And that isn't our strong suit.
