Any clue why we opted to bat when the pitch looks like a well watered back yard?

Not often in Australia you do send in the other team in. Queensland were poor; they could have been on concrete and those shots were out. I didn’t see any demons out there.

I hate the concept, conditions are hard so let's send out someone less equipped to deal with it.

Another question, why'd we play Swepson on this pitch? He hasn't even had a bowl yet and we're 27 overs in, should've just played an extra quick or batting all-rounder.

He ended with two for 21.
It's just the Bulls' way, Boyce left for that reason. Traditionally the Bulls' quicks have been enough. If you have them eight down and the quicks have done the job you might get a few at the end like today but that's the best you can hope for really.
Queensland captains have never been great users of spin because we produce so many good fast bowlers.
