They made the prediction despite knowing the forecast for the first day was for rain. I think we've strayed from my original point though. I said I didn't entirely agree with your following statement.
I think I pointed out plenty of examples that prove that batting first isn't always an advantage.
I must have elaborated on that a bit more. What I meant was that always bat first unless there's heavy overcast conditions and you expect the pitch to have juice in it. Most often, the pitch would look green but the weather would be fine and batting first would be a better option there despite the greenish looking pitch. Asian teams often do this mistake of bowling first whenever they encounter a green tinged pitch.
