Dec 10 (Reuters) - Australia captain Steve Smith won the toss and chose to bat first in the opening test against West Indies at Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Thursday. West Indies captain Jason Holder said he probably would have chosen to bowl first had he won the toss and was fielding four pacemen in himself, Kemar Roach, Jerome Taylor and Shannon Gabriel. Left-arm orthodox spinner Jomel Warrican will play his second test after getting the nod over leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo. Open
