Melbourne, Dec. 11 : 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)
