West Indies speedster Fidel Edwards was surprised that India chose to bat on a bouncy Sabina Park wicket in the first Test here Monday.
Edwards, who made a successful comeback with a four-wicket haul in his first Test in two years, said losing the toss worked for the West Indies.

"We were a bit surprised they chose to bat on that wicket. Our plan was to field first, take early wickets and it worked out for us anyway," said Edwards.
Edwards sent back Virat Kohli in his initial spell and came back to clean India's tail, taking three wickets, and folded the visitors to 246 all out. The 29-year-old said he was pleased with his effort after coming back from a long injury lay-off.
"It was a good feeling to get back onto the field and contribute to the team's cause. It was a good start for me and it is good to make my comeback in Jamaica. I have not played a lot of cricket leading up to this match and bowling first up was a bit harsh, but I got into the rhythm after that."
