The big difference between the two teams started well before the toss and that's the gutsy calls made by the selectors. Hats off to Baylis and whomever else was involved.

I would, but they will definitely not drop Haddin. I agree it's hard to drop someone after one match because it would be admitting to have made a mistake. Those are the big calls that you just have to make though.
