SecondSlip Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Do you think we would have won both test series? Link to comment
nevada Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 What if Pujara had not scored a century in the first innings? We would have probably been all out for double figures and lost the match in an embarrassing manner. So "what ifs" can go either way. Link to comment

In first and second innings together. 300 events where he did not get out. Virat lost 7 tosses. 7 events. It's not the same probability. Not comparable. Of India won more tosses results would have been different for sure. Link to comment

Adi BB Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We would have won more tests easily ,I have said this before ,the Indian batsmen go in a shell under any sort of scoreboard pressure when batting second or last ,they just dint play freely as compared to when they bat first. Nowadays almost all the teams are toss dependent Link to comment

rtmohanlal Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Most probably. Having said that it should not happen at all. Then what is the purpose of playing itself? Winning tosses should even out generally. That's why i finds ENG's recent records a bit inflated. Won lots of tosses and there by matches. In ind, vs IND in ENG , in SL they won most of the tosses.

AuxiliA Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Interesting fact here: India/Kohli hasn't lost a single test after winning the toss in the last 3 years. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=won;spanmax1=10+Dec+2018;spanmin1=10+Dec+2015;spanval1=span;team=6;template=results;toss=1;type=team Edited December 10, 2018 by AuxiliA nevada 1 Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 IMo winning the toss makes a HUGE difference with the fast bowlers we have right now.If we win the next 3 tosses we will blank the aussies. Link to comment
ExtremeBrainfade Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Not necessarily won the series, but it may have flipped the result of a couple of matches. Maybe the toss should be a best-of-three or best-of-five. Link to comment
SK_IH Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 In SA may be, not in Eng. In Eng more than toss, Sam Curran was the difference and Ind batting bar Kohli was in poor form Link to comment

Toss plays a role but not when reasons for defeats were much deeper. Link to comment
