Why the Indian cricket team is losing in South Africa?Its the toss,stupid


The India cricket team's recent defeats to South Africa in the current India Vs South Africa cricket series have the experts flummoxed- The reasons given by the so-called experts for the Indian cricket team's abysmal performance include Chappell's coaching, the bounce in the pitches, poor batting etc.

But hey,do you think one cricket team loses to another ONLY because it is inferior? Think again,elementary , my dear Watson!Its the toss,stupid!

We,at GameCricket.com, have carried out thousands of automated cricket match simulations of matches between India and South Africa- our conclusion is the Indian and South African cricket teams are evenly matched.Then, why is the Indian cricket team losing so badly?

The reason is that South African pitches generally favor the teams batting second in one day international cricket matches,especially in day/night cricket matches.
An analysis of past wins of teams playing in South Africa shows that statistically, there is a huge advantage for cricket teams batting first in a one day international in South Africa.

So, who do you think should be the man of the series for the India Vs South Africa cricket series? Its Graeme Smith,of course, who despite the succession of ducks he has scored, has won toss in all three one day international cricket matches against India in this series in South Africa
