Meet the Oz teen who is cricket's biggest toss loser

Melbourne, Dec.11 (ANI): 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. (ANI)
