So on the weekend I got into double digits for losing the toss.

First game of the year, won the toss, batted and destroyed the opposition.

Since that game, I have now lost the toss 10 times on the trot! 9 out of those 10 we have been asked to bowl first, except on the weekend we were put in - and won by 138 runs. However from 10 lost tosses have managed to win 10 in a row so I'm not too concerned

Anyone else having a wretched run at the coin toss? To be honest I'd rather keep losing it if a win is going to be the result!

Yep, a couple of years back I went seven losses on the bounce, ended up sending someone else to do the toss....they won.

My Captain from Winter a couple of seasons ago insisted on calling "heads" at every toss: he lost 17 straight!

Are you referring to yourself in the 3rd person again??

[TangoWhiskey]

Perhaps you should write to Alastair Cook and ask for tips... Oh wait.

[MD2812]

Always heads!!

had a season where we won the toss twice (home and away) the games where we won the toss were ones the captain was away!

[Jenko]

Yeah Im away this weekend so no doubt they will probably win the toss!

Haha no way I would talk to Cook! For one I'm Australian, and secondly, we definitely went to different schools when it comes to captaincy. I am ridiculously attacking.

My team last year won the toss every game through the whole season, which resulted in us missing out on a lot of bonus points available for when you lose the toss !!

Not Good !

[Jenko]

Bonus points for losing the toss....really?!?!?!?!

I'd call landing on it's edge every time!

Nowadays, with our friendlies the team which has less players when we begin the game is forced to win the toss and elect to bat

if it's a friendly.. capts should be honest and say 'we have a strong team' or 'we have a cack team'...   good team bats first so at least if the others are skittled it makes a game of it.. only if they really do turn out to be cack... don't go smashing 300 odd against them.. a nice 230-250 for 9 is plenty good enough.. aka, retire on 50 batsmen

Haha, believe me my teammates have started calling me much worse this year, especially when we bowl first every week!

I was simply referring to you inability to toss effectively, can imagine what you get called by your team mates having to field first week on week though haha!
