The track was a good wicket to bat on and was a bit slow. It was a similar kind of wicket we might get in Tests as well,

The wicket had grass on it when we played here two years ago, but it may help spinners early this time.
advantage allow captain continue gives huge pick rule super team
The rule as it is now, gives a huge advantage to the captain inning the toss. So, I think, they (ICC) should continue with it and allow the team to pick their super sub after the toss.

The shot was on without the fine leg. He was unlucky that the ball rolled on to the stumps.
