Any Correlations Between These Two?

[Crazysah]

Hello,

Is there any correlation between a captain losing a toss and his batting average? I believe it is true that captains don't score much when they lose a toss rather than when they win a toss.

Also, maybe a correlation between losing a toss as a captian and not taking any wickets?

I believe theres a correlation between your batting average and the length of your dick

Ricky Ponting averaged 14% more when he wins the toss, whereas intereestingly enough Steve Waugh averaged 7% less for when he correctly called.

If we look back through history, overall 'batting' captains have an 8% improvement when they win the toss.

If we look over the bowling captains over the years it is the opposite. Dan Vettori averaged 5.6% worse when he won the toss compared to his overall record, and Shaun Pollock's stats suffered a staggering 12% when he won the toss, and took 16% less wickets.

Wow. That is a bit of a steep decline when not winning the toss. So it does confirm my research in the past few days that winning the toss is crucial to the captain's individual performance. Any other captains with significant declines?

How does that compare with the overall effect of your team losing the toss - i.e. having the conditions put against you? Is it really that exaggerated for captains?

I would think opening batsmen and bowlers would generally lose or gain the most based on the toss.

Always the thread spoiler Daemon......

although I must say that I loled when I read that

I made up those stats ftr.

Well, are there any stats on this? Anyway I can back myself up? Any other correlations like these? What do you think?

Any studies like this done?

I don't really see the point of these kinds of correlationtbh, what insight do you get out of this? you might as well find a correlation between the winner of the toss and the size of their pyjamas

I didn't. Though in the case of some posters I would have believed that they'd gone to statsguru and worked it out.

50% of people who torture themselves with this pointless piffle commit suicide by the age of 27.

There were only 5 minutes between the opening post and your reply. To have made those calculations and written the post would have taken at least 6.

Touche.

I am surprised he didn't get it. I truly lol'd while at work at those stats

Stats when Ponting won the toss.
And when he lost it.

Yes, I was very, very bored...

You now need to do another 10 captains and see if a pattern emerges.

So there is indeed a drop. From 53.63 to 49.61. I bet it's more for someone like Strauss or someone.

Look at Sourav Ganguly's stats:

Won the toss

Lost the toss

Inzamam-ul-Haq as well. There is a definite pattern emerging.
