Eden Even

I will make today's post relevant to today's test match between India and Pakistan. As of now, India are batting at 43/1. In the past, India have played 34 test matches with 8 victories and 8 defeats. Interesting, Pakistan's record is no different. Out of 6 matches played here, they have won 1 and lost 1 with all others being draws. Thats even Eden for both...

Interesting, between Indo-Pak matches, the two victories that have come about, both have come about by teams who won the toss and elected to bat. So, India, that way have history on their side. Of course, that matters for very little...
