Cricket superstitions

[Richard Jenkins]

LOl maybe i should . I could even make a little beer glass and pipe for "the old fellow" and sit him next to the cocktail sausages at tea and see the oppositions faces!
Maybe someone may eat the poor fellow, so perhaps not!

gerkins indeed.


maybe this year I'll nail a lucky horse shoe to my bat for extra force.
anyway stop being silly richard, and concentrate. Your supposed to be talking about superstitions.
Not chipolatas or anything else.

Steve Waugh's hanky is slowly moved out of his pocket as he feels more confident

"Well, he's now retired so its not such a problem any more. Aged 59th he went to clip the ball off his front pad, his achilles tendon detatched with the sound of a gunshot and he collapsed like he'd been shot. It took 2 operations and intensive physiotherapy to get that put right, so he finally hung up his boots. "Ouch. Hope he's better Goatman.

He's fine now, but he hasn't played since. You can only tell when he tries to run.

I'm searching for the lost treasures of the sierra montains!!

Batting is not my strong point (10 not out after 30 overs) as a top score tells you;but i carried my bat( mainly cos i ran at every chance, and ran out five people in the process!!) still we won.
I find that i generally feel good after a nets session, and confidence comes from this; I sometimes have a mental picture in my head of what to do and then I'll try to replicate this, does this sound weird?
Very occassionally i'll move to the "catching spot" but i don't know if it's luck or intuition or what.

Yes this year I'm going to beat all my records cos i'll have a four leaf clover in my hat, a black cat(tigger) on my head, horseshoes on my boots (helps with the running) a ladder for a bat (extra leverage)and a mirror for pads.(glint it into bowlers eyes)
can you imagine me coming out to bat with that little lot. Tigger, the cat will never be the same again.

I'm planning to go out to bat with a bunny girl on each arm. I reckon the opposition fielders will be so distracted runs are going to be fairly easy to come by, and I won't have to worry too much about sharp catches. Don't reckon the umpires going to give many marginal decisions aginst me either....
