Common sense prevails

...And Finally, ICC has changed the rules for the toss in case of rain.

ICC General Manager – Cricket and Chairman of the Tournament Technical Committee David Richardson said: “Under the original playing conditions the result of the toss was carried over to the reserve day even if a ball was not bowled on day one but there was a groundswell of opinion against that in the meeting. The concerns included the fact that conditions may change overnight and that might result in a side being unfairly disadvantaged if the original toss remained in place."

As an offshoot, the re-toss will also allow the captains to make a team change on the reserve day. Makes sense, doesn't it?
