Instead, Doull preferred to hold dialogue with the Bay men during training at the same venue on Wednesday night.
"You can try to address a few things but you can't change the result. You can shout and scream as well, but that'll still change nothing."
The hosts won the toss and shone the ball but Manawatu amassed 317 runs from 93.2 overs despite the Bay taking 5-100 at one stage of the game on Saturday.
In reply, the hosts managed 159 all out in their first innings before adding an unconvincing 120 all out in their second dig.
In Doull's take, Wednesday's post-mortem would attempt to address the "rights and and the wrongs".
So what went right, Doull?
The articulate coach felt flipping the coin just about took into account the "rights" and perhaps to a certain extent some aspects of bowling.
"We won the toss, I suppose. Outside that I'm not sure what went right for us at all."
As far as he was concerned no one stood out with the bat or ball. "The bowlers didn't do badly but we shouldn't have lost 18 wickets in one day on the second-day wicket at Nelson Park."
Doull said his batsmen made some bad choices after playing themselves into the game.
"They weren't always good balls getting them out.
"A couple of decisions didn't go our way and that's disappointing, too, but that's certainly not the reason why we lost today," he said of a couple of umpiring calls.
The Bay now need to claim maximum points in their remaining matches but will also need Manawatu to strike a few judderbars.
The task doesn't become easier with undefeated Taranaki playing at Nelson Park this weekend. CD spinner Ajaz Patel and batsman Mathew Sinclair are unavailable.
