QUIT : spinning a Toss ? - ketchim - 07-31-2015
One of the myriad suggestions for "improving" Test match cricket is to abandon the toss
in favour of giving the visiting captain the choice of whether to bat or bowl,
thus negating the home side's opportunity to doctor a pitch in their favour.

The toss is ritualistic and it offers a focus for the start of every game.

Since January 1, 2000, teams that have won the toss have won 262 matches, lost 260 and drawn 171. Winning the toss since the turn of the century hasn't been a statistical advantage.

Well winning the toss has no significant advantage as show by the stats where teams that won and loss the toss have won pretty much the same number of times.
