Going for a Toss

A sudden flash of thought. 

The influence of toss is steeply increasing on the result of a cricket match (Particularly ODI & Test) . Why we need to go for a toss?. Instead of a toss we shall use the "Super Over"  . (If you don't know what a super over is then refer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Over).  The super over winning team captain can decide whether to go for bowling or batting. 

The advantages of this method over toss are :

  • No pure luck factor to decide the result of the match.
  • Imaging every match starting with a super over.. That would be great bonanza for the spectators. 
This would make the result of a cricket match decided purely on cricketing skills rather than on pure luck factors.

Does this makes sense?
