Nah, you'd still get solid variation in pitches around the world, you'd just get fewer pitches that massively favour the side winning the toss, like those dungheaps in India last year.

Well you'd never get a green wicket, surely. Being guaranteed to always lose the toss would incentivize more "balanced" wickets though.

 

[Bahnz]

surely threre's something McCullum does wrong which makes him so ****ing bad at tossing. Bet he chooses whatever won last time #probabilisticfallacies

Tbf, in home tests he's not the one calling the toss.

ah, I stand corrected

No obvious candidates today for the "top order collapses, lower order bat top scores" bet. Henry? Maybe Timmeh?

Sooner McCullum and his ****ness at the toss buggers off into retirement, the better for us all methinks.

Perhaps.

Wagner ar 100:1 IMO.

 

[straw man]

oh we're batting

eek

Excited to see Henry and Wagner in the side of course. Anderson had better score some runs to justify his selection.

awta

 

[Gnske]

The best short-leg in the world

 

[BeeGee]

Should have caught that.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Jesus that seam.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Guppy looks like getting out every ball poking around like that. Just attack and play your ODI game son!

 

[The Battlers Prince]

That's a great over

 

[Zinzan]

*** me Guptill, what's the thought process playing as wide as he did in the last Pattinson over(the one past 3rd slip). Lose the toss on a green track at still playing that wide after what happened in Wellington. Wtf do they talk about during the week?


Incidentally, Pattinson scares the **** out of me.

 

[BeeGee]

Patto is loving these conditions.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Kinda remarkable there haven't been any wickets yet. New ball doing a lot.

edit: There we go.

 

[GotSpin]

Come on Patto!
