Biggest Wins, Chasing and the Toss
Innings wins head the Test list: Australia have 6 and England 4, and the heaviest was England’s innings and 157 runs at the MCG on 26 Dec 2010. By runs alone, Australia’s 405-run win at Lord’s on 16 Jul 2015 is the widest, and England’s best is 347 runs, also at Lord’s, on 18 Jul 2013. In ODIs, England’s 481/6 in Nottingham in Jun 2018 set up a win whose 242-run margin that day is the biggest in either direction.
In ODIs the team chasing has come out on top 47 times and the team defending 37 times, while first innings have averaged 261. The T20I record flips that: 14 wins for sides setting a target against 10 for those chasing, and an opening-innings average of 172.
Calling correctly has counted for little. Toss winners took 27 of 51 decided Tests and just 32 of 84 decided ODIs. The Melbourne Cricket Ground has hosted 18 of these matches, with Australia winning 13, and the Sydney Cricket Ground 17. Edgbaston is the outlier, with 7 England wins against 2.
