Q: I'd love to get people's feedback on the coin toss in Test cricket. With all the discussion about pitch preparation and local captains requesting preferable home team pitch conditions what if they did away with the coin toss and allowed the away team to choose whether they wanted to bat or bowl first?
A: Home team's influence in pitch preparation is a known fact, but we also have to consider that many a times this has backfired across the playing conditions be it preparation of a rank turner where the visiting team has demolished the home team or be it a green pitch.
The competition is always between bat and bowl, skillset and mindset, strategy and planning. Toss in these cases makes these battles interesting.
Let it be as it is and let the best team win.
