Have you all noticed, irrespective of who wins the toss, it is always the STRONGER teams that bat first against the MINNOWS.
My logic is this. Probably there are orders from some unknown quarters to all the team captains, that the STRONGER ones should bat first. Reason being, if the minnows bat first, there is always a possibility that the matches will end within just 2-3 hours leading to financial losses through advertisements and other possible sources.
Definitly looks fishy. Is it the media world or the betting world, that is influencing the whole scene?
