Presumably works on a 50% chance of getting the ball back. Are there any statistics to prove that it is a better option than the long kick? I am surprised at how quickly it has been taken up by so many clubs, regardless of the score (I may be wrong, maybe teams only do it when they want to retain possession). In a game that is based on field position, you'd think long is better? Probably also a good ploy when scored against?
