Captain's Corner: Sourav Ganguly vs Stephen Fleming

6. Luck at the toss

Ganguly called the toss better than Fleming during their career as captain

Not exactly a parameter upon which captaincy credentials should be measured and one in which good fortune plays a big part, but nonetheless, success at the toss has a huge bearing on the outcome of matches and it is hence a hugely significant one in the modern game.
