When the batting order is faltering and melting under pressure, the captain should be looking to bat first and, bereft of any scoreboard pressure, they might well bat with a lot more freedom which will allow them to do justice to their potential.

Also, this will allow the bowlers to have a cushion when they run in to bowl and, perhaps when they defend a score, they will do a better job.
