Its a shame that toss has become such a big factor so far. I want to see a match between Say Bongs vs Aussies or Sl vs England or Windies vs Aussies where lesser ranked side is chasing on fresh pitches. This group will completely expose pitches

Just play day games. Start at 11 finish at 2. Uk is the best in this regards. They still have day games. India has stopped it completely

Theme of WT20.

I said the same thing right after our game vs Pak, this reminds me of the tri series in India towards the end of 2003 with Oz/NZ where toss was a major factor throughout the series!

If you bat first, you have to score big. For that you need batsmen who can take the game away by putting around 200 on board. If the mentality is to get to an avg score, it is probably a waste of time ... Par score is a score that gives a team 2/3rd chances of winning the game. Ind team could be confusing avg score with par score. 

 

Btw, the "accurate" average score should be the average of winning score by teams batting first. Ind and SL scored 150 odd and lost, now if the data says avg score is 150 and if teams aim for that, they are likely to lose. If teams winning by batting first are scoring 180-190-200, the "avg" should be seen as 190 (and not 150).

Yes but the odds evens up to certain extent as no dew. So if you score 180 Plus in day game you have a much better chance of winning than if you score 180 In night game with dew. At least one extraneous factor is eliminated.

IPL and BCCI will wait till some Aussie,Kiwi or British scientist/ science lab comes up with a new innovation to counter this disadvantage. 
 

Time for BCCI to Invest in innovation. If that’s one area you are the most powerful entity in the world, at least do something there.

BCCI will not even utter alphabet P of pitch without me lords England and Aussie saying it. ICC knows that if them two are at wrong end all hell will break like around quality and pitch process. Hence, so far,  England and aussies have been batting first

On second thought, My respect for IPL has grown even further. Teams and players their can turn it around despite loosing toss or batting first on similar ground. Here we have a situation in so called peak of t20 world cup where we know the result even before the first ball has been thrown.
