Cricket Superstitions

"If a black cat crosses your path, you're out of luck." Who said that, where and when and why, nobody knows. In India, there is also a by-product of the above superstition that you take a few steps back to do if a cat crosses your path. When I was a student, was one of my closest friends in his bicycle when he saw a cat cross his path. It took a few steps backwards when braking suddenly roll and hit the wheel to the rear and a car from behind him. He was hurt.
It was probably an exception. We all follow implicitly or explicitly, some superstitions here and there. We all need what we call the confidence of success in this highly competitive world. To strengthen our confidence, we tend to do different things in our thought process variable. Today the sport as a profession has taken. All sports and was subjected to competition from a very high order. Cricket is no exception.

As an ardent cricket lover, it amuses me to the superstitions of the cricketers. If you're a cricket fan, you will certainly appreciate the superstition about your favorite players. I quote below some superstitions about some of the cricketers, I know:

1) The cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar with his left pad.

2) Krishnamachari Srikkanth will be used to observe the sun, always wear the left block first, and always walk on the right side of her partner while he was at bat.

3) Michael Clarke of Australia to listen to loud music in front of the stick.

I feel the player numbered Cricket superstitious enough to believe us with pleasure, how you were raised by something unique with these people is restored. In countries such as India and Pakistan, once the cricket fever obsolete, even paracetamol is ineffective.

We all know that in a sport, the best team wins, who plays better that day. As a cricketer, why hardcore fans of Cricket basic fear of doing something funny to make her passion for a win for their country? You know, not that the great Indian cinema Amitabh Bachchan good start to lose live streaming of cricket matches a logical basis and without his team? Sachin Tendulkar's family had a superstition that whenever they see him play live will always Tendulkar early. People want to special things during a cricket match just a victory for her team. To a few times:

1) at home, temple or mosque please.

2) the wearing of specific colors for good luck.

3) Do not change sitting positions in difficult situations.

4) during the current course of the game.

5) Puja / Prasad God for the victory is promised.

6) The fans would prefer their television on a certain spot under VASTHU Shastra.

7 talk) not work if the drop doors.
But faith and cricket, to add the flavor of the game. The game is enhanced with additions of superstition. Because we all like to have fun out of it. The game is more fun with more and more cricketers superstitious.

Shahdi Afridi Announced Retirement

Shahid Khan Afridi has announced retirement from international cricket. Afridi told that he could no longer perform for a cricket board that did not respect its senior players.

"I have decided to retire from international cricket because I am not in a mental frame of mind to continue playing under this board," the 31-year-old said.
Afridi, who retired from tests last year but continued to lead the team in limited-over cricket, was removed as one-day skipper earlier this month by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

His replacement, Misbah-ul-Haq, subsequently led the team to a 2-0 series win in Ireland.

After returning from this year's 3-2 one-day series victory in West Indies, Afridi complained of interference in his work.

The hard-hitting batsman and leg-spin bowler told that there were "disgraceful" people in the board who could not tolerate outspoken people like him.

"I can't work with such people. To me self-respect is more important than anything else and this board has no respect for me," Afridi said.

Shahid Afridi added that during his spell as one-day captain he was not consulted over squad selection and did not know until the last minute if he would be retained as skipper.

"There was no respect shown to me although I picked up a ragged and scandal-hit team and built it up into a fighting unit. We reached the 50-over World Cup semi-finals (this year) and the reward they gave me was the sack," Shahid said.

"They sacked me without telling me. No one bothered to even speak to me.

"There is a particular lobby of people ... who don't want me in the team perhaps because I don't fit into their scheme of things. They have poisoned the chairman (Ijaz Butt) against me."
