The yellow one is ugly, but yellow (or gold, whatever) is Australia's ODI colour, and I really don't see the point of changing it. Green is simply associated too much with Pakistan and South Africa.
So I'd rather yellow too. There have been some nicer looking ones in the past anyway.

No. The Green uniform is now the home uniform, while the yellow uniform is the away uniform. At least that is my understanding of it. They may choose to use the Green (home) uniform for the WC. I'll guess we'll find out on March 14.

That's what Adidas did when they first took over the uniforms from FILA. Except they had the yellow ones has home and the green as away. I just assumed they have done the same, but reversed the colours with the new style of uniform. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding.

The green kit definitely looks better, but it's not Australia's colours.

You'd imagine they might just have made 1 or 2 waves in the C&G Trophy last year and the NL the 3 years before that, then...

no, but theres always the thinking that if the pitch is decent you bat first and get runs on the board. Sending a team in on a good deck is very dangerous and it really would show Ponting's lack of faith in the bowlers.
It's all well and good to say the bowlers aren't under pressure bowling first, but chasing 300 isnt easy anywhere even if i has been done a bit lately, the batters will be the one's under pressure and there's no guarantee they'll perform.
Runs on the board in big matches is a big plus for mine, so I think it's always worth batting first if you have the chance.

As teams have gotten more experienced at playing One Day cricket, and it was such a psychological barrier that it did take 20-odd years, chasing isn't as much of a concern as what it once was.
Twenty20 has only further added to this, with the knowledge that if you get on top of a bowling attack and gather momentum, then 10 an over off the last 10 is very possible, when only 6 years ago 80 from the last 10 was a super effort.

He bats first a hell of a lot more than he bowls. So it'd definitely be a change in tactical approach. Makes sense under the circumstances though.
