I think it would be a mistake to bowl unless you are sure it is going to stay overcast. The pitch will play very little part. If you bowl and it fines up you're stuffed.
I'd want it to be overcast till lunch or more.

Today has great watching on both sides.
Australia; new captain, new players, Burns at home where he loves the bounce and will cut and a ground we don't lose at.
New Zealand; world class players in McCullum, a great wicket keeper batsman in Watling, two world class bowlers who swing it in Boult and Southee. Williamson is close to the best in the world with the bat.
New Zealand haven't lost in seven series, Australia have only lost 8 Tests in the last decade at home and haven't lost at home since 2012.

Looks like Warner has been working on his leave.
Will be better for it.

I said a good toss to lose. Or win apparently.
