Meet the Oz teen who is cricket's biggest toss loser
Melbourne: Kirsty Perrin is a one-in-a-billion cricketer, and not because she can bat like Don Bradman or spin like Shane Warne. Her speciality is losing the coin
toss. In a record unlikely to be broken unless another cricketer inherits her
bad luck, the 16-year-old has lost 30 straight tosses since early 2008. The odds
of such a run are worse than 1,000,000,000-1 - 20 times more than winning Powerball,
reports the Daily Telegraph. "It's frustrating and funny at the same time. I've
tried everything - going with my gut instinct, going against it. I've switched
between heads and tails, used different coins. The lot. Nothing works. I just
always seem to lose," Kirsty was quoted as saying.
