Markram wins the toss, but puts India in to bat on wicket favouring first innings side

History shook its head in disbelief at Aiden Markram after he won the toss in the third One Day International at Newlands in Cape Town yesterday.

By the end of the match, which India won by 124 runs to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series, many more heads were shaking. Never mind Murphy’s law, Zuma’s law was rampant in South Africa’s camp: whenever the opportunity to do the wrong thing came up, they took it.
