Ricky Ponting and Michael holding think removing the toss in test cricket and giving the touring side the decision to bat or bowl will help test cricket and remove any chance of doctored wickets.
I cannot for the life of me think of a more stupid suggestion ever, yes it might remove wickets being prepared for the home side but all it will do is produce flat track highways the world over. Every test will be played on a batting paradise.
Fast bowlers over time will just stop being produced, batsman will plunder the bowling for 3-4 days with declarations everywhere and hoping the wicket will break up so a spinner can bowl you to victory.
What are your thoughts??
