What numbers say

99% of occasions whoever bats latter win the match. see in case of bangaldesh as well. had india opted go field first they would hv probably won. its rediculous that dravid was behaving like fool in the group in bangla match. the whoe experience had gone down the drain.

There is a mistake in my earlier reply. In the last sentence it should be "After losing early wickets"

The same pitch and aginst same opposition, Srilanka had scored 318 whereas India scored just 192. You can't say the wrong decision to bat first after losing the toss is not at all true. India could not bat well on that day due to pressure created by themselves after losing toss.
